    M1A1 stock metal finish

    Was metal on M1A1icon stocks originally parkerized, blued, or painted black?

    I have checked all the books I have but have found no mention of the finish.

    TIA
    John

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
