The Ross has come by its patina honorably. I gunsmith, and I'd try to find an issue stock that goes along with the finish rather than trying to match the finish to new wood....

If you want a better finish, but do not want to change the metal in any way but color (no polishing whatsoever), just clean the metal with MEK or Brake Cleaner and rust blue over the original rust blue finish. I have done this on numerous occassions, and it works very well. It usually only takes a couple of cardings before the darker patina is back. Maybe you want to stop short of a dark blue, and do only one, maybe two applications. You have the choice to stop at any time.
If you have any questions on exactly how this is done, contact me and I will explain in detail, including which solution to use. It is easier than most people think, and you will NOT be disappointed with the results.
