Not until 1930..............
"Semi-beavertail" stock (1930-48): Forearm widened to a flat-bottomed, trapezoidal profile; finger grooves omitted; drop reduced again. Oil finish replaced varnish. With slight modifications was renamed the Standard Target Stock in 1934. Tabs, I concur, the stock on a 1928 rifle should have been varnished. The oil finished stocks did not arrive until 1930 or so. Knew that I had seen Model 52s with an oil finish, just did not know their manufacture date!
