Wear patterns on correct M1

Thank you jmoore. May I ask how you can tell "heavy stock sanding"? Because this rifle's stock was covered in grime when I got it. I had to use Murphy's Oil Soap and 0000 steel wool to clean it enough to see the SA/GAW, and of course you can only barely see it now. but it was totally invisible before. Yikes! did I make it that faint by using the 0000 steel wool?
