I've seen that before... And it never, ever gets old!
Probably the most beautiful rifle stock on a milsurp I have ever seen.
$359 was a bargain. As they say; "You didn't pay too much for it, you just bought it early".

Is that a heat treatment they did to those stocks to get the striping, or burnishing ?

Flame birch is a variant of usually
Betula pendula or more rarely
Betula pubescens. The pattern is further enhanced by "kiväärintukkiöljy" oil finish.

It is natural in the wood like extra curly maple is. What you put on it sometimes make it stand out.
