quite some time ago, well before I actually started collecting milsurs as a hobbie, I bought an Izzy Sniper, 91/30 from a close friend and collector. The gun is out of the very first batch imported into the states by century. I shoot the gun often and it's performance is superb. the gun is a text book example of a 91/30 snip. except the top wood had been darkened. My friend thought it may have been done by the sniper to keep the glare down. Has anyone else ever seen this? it's not black or any thing like that, just very dark what appears to be some heating of the shellac or something, Very cool looking, but strange._SDH
