If there is value to the stock in original condition I will leave it alone. Who knows, I may run across a wood one cheap or somebody with a wood stocked mini 14 might trade me rifles.

Rattle can is the way to go. Add a matte clear finish and it will last a little longer. That way when you change your mind you are not stuck with a hard to remove duracoat, Cerakote, Alumhyde, or car paint to remove.

A painted stock will never look like wood, but this looks pretty good IMHO.

All Rustoleum spray paint.
Base coat in tan and then the textured brown/tan over that. Once dry I lightly buffed it with a very fine sanding pad to knock down the roughness (0000 wool would work too). It has a nice grippy texture that is comfortable for all day shooting.

It gets taken out regularly and has held up amazingly well for almost 5 years now.

For a plastic stock I would recommend cleaning it good with Dawn and water to get any oil off then a coat of plastic primer before doing the base coat.

That looks good. I had a brown ATI stock on my old No 4 MK1 that I liked. While it did not look like wood it did not look like it was trying to be tacticool either. Plus it did not stand out as much as black.
