My old girl got a new stock and grip. What do you think? They look like bakelite. I have a bunch of other A1 furniture I picked up recently, but this really caught me eye.

What can you tell me about this mottled stuff?

Not unusual to see mottled A1 Grips and stocks
The stock looks different shape or is it just the angle of the pic??

You only see the mottleing on the non trap doors, never on the latter trap door stocks.
