I felt that since this is a different subject than my previous post here are the photos of the new M1icon.

My 1955 H&R M1 is in the middle, interesting comparison. The woman who I purchased the new 1941 M1 from had a gunsmith friend there and he told me that early stocks were finished with this varnish of sorts by Springfield before they moved over to linseed oilicon, is that true? He also told me I every wanted to take off the varnish to use easy off then apply BLOicon from a hardware store.
