Well, the most you can loose is about $100 for a replacement stock. 
But really, some hardwoods don't do good doing Shou Sugi Ban.
I tried it on some oak timbers and it turn out kind of nice. Been kicking that idea in my camp build on the timbers. Problem is, after burning and then running a steel brush, it leaves the wood grains raised. Then one has to come back and treat with hot Linseed oil that seals the wood.

Hmm. Interesting. When I charred the key rack thing I made, I didn't use a steel brush at all. Just charred it then sprayed on a matte rustoleum sealer (admittedly, it's an indoor piece that I'm not concerned about the longevity of). Will the hardwood need to be brushed before hitting it with the linseed oil? Or could I leave it how it stands after the charring?

The real process is to brush it then the hot linseed oil treatment. That is what makes it pop out better.
You might want to try a small spot on the inside of the upper hand grip were that is under the barrel. You will have to make a tool that unscrews the bolt on the top side on the handgrip to remove it. If you look close, you will see two slots were the tool slides on to unscrew it. I made one years ago out of a piece of pipe and welded some tits to match the slots. Then used a big channel loks to unscrew. Don't know what I did with the tool.
