I'm trying to replace the rear piece of the upper hand guard of my M1, but the piece I got through the mail was slightly mismatched in the finish due to the coating being slightly worn. The rest of the stock seem to have this shiny gloss to it over a dark colored wood stock. Has anyone ever deal with M1 stocks that are slightly shiny? If so, what might be the finish/coating that was used back in the days on these stocks?
