I had a Ruger 10-22 walnut stock years ago that came from the factory with a small repair at the toe of the stock. They had filled either a chip or a void with a semi-translucent wood filler that blended quite well with the walnut and was almost invisible. Does anyone know what type filler this is and where to get it? It looked much better than the opaque fillers that you attempt to stain to somewhat match the wood.

Minwax makes some don't know about it never tried it personally .

I use Mohawk products or epoxy with a touch of colorant for nearly invisible wood repairs , I've also been known to create faux finishes
complete with graining details , which is nearly undetectable if done properly . Just takes practice and patience .

Is the stock really walnut or Beech stained walnut ?.

sounds like a shellac stick.

I have used straight acraglas (the original kind) with no flock to fill some dents and dimples. All were less noticeable and one dent fill-in I did on a personal rifle is still invisable over 15 years later. And i know where to look for it!

I prefer clear epoxy to all others.

I agree with Jim C. Just clear epoxy. It will take on the color of the substrate.
