Old Girl Gets New Furniture

[dogboysdad]

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?

[Orlando]

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

[dogboysdad]

it's just how the picture was taken. They are regular USGI A1.

[toolman]

Very nice sir!! Peace toolman

[dogboysdad]

Oh, and they are early no trap butts.

[Orlando]

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

[Old Guard]

Strange looking and i thought i had looked at some early types...believe mine are Blacker?

[Orlando]

Some non trap door are shiney black some are mottled. Later stocks were black matte finish.The real early stocks are green and brown and big $$$$$$
