Mastinson, I'd post your request as a WTB item in the Accessories for Sale or Trade forum...

Don't know how the camo holds up, I guess it's a question of time, any coating will eventually wear off. I have a Speedfeed stock, but I'm keeping it as a spare just in case. Speedfeed IMHO makes the best aftermarket syn stocks when it comes to fit and finish and price. For wood, check www.boydboys.com, pretty reasonable and nice real walnut aftermarket stocks.

Numrich has a special on 870 field grade wood (probably birch) right now at a good price, I got my order in
www.gunpartscorp.com
look under their "new products" banner and scroll down for the 870 items.

Good luck

No direct experience, but repairing a camo finish is quite simple. So's taking a flat black stock and painting a few areas. A sheet of cardboard with a leaf shape or two cut into makes a good stencil.

Lots of us older guys used Duck Boat or bow spray paint to do up waterfowler, slug and turkey guns before they were available from the makers. These usually wore off after some use, and were easily renewed.

HTH...
