Default Swapping stocks on a Browning semi-auto shotgun

I have recently solved my longstanding desire for a semi-auto shotgun with the purchase of a beautiful A5 hunter. I chose the wood cause I like the classic look, but I was thinking that perhaps a spare stock in camo, might come in handy for waterfowling. Obviously the fore-end is really easy to change, but what about the stock? Does anyone else kit their semi for different conditions?

One bolt. Take off recoil pad, undo bolt through stock, install synthetic stock.

That's much easier that I imagined. Thanks.

Actually, I didn't read close enough, yours is an A5. For those you need to take out the the bolt that goes up through the bottom tang into the stock, remove the lock screw first. There are a couple of good videos and owners manuals on You tube. Makes it pretty simple. Make sure you have the specific proper fitting screw driver bits to fit Browning. They are different than most.
