walnut stock
Firearm's wooden part
A walnut stock is the wooden part of a rifle or shotgun—the portion held against the shoulder—made from walnut wood.
Walnut is prized for gunstocks because it's strong, shock-resistant, and develops a rich grain pattern: The rifle featured a hand-checkered walnut stock.
High-end firearms often showcase elaborate walnut figuring.
