Was taking pictures of some items I may post for sale, and after I took the picture of this Case M4 noticed that only the flat of the butt was painted olive drab. I have owned it for 25 to 30 years and never noticed it until I looked at the picture. Would this be something done at manufacture, or added later? Finish on bayonet is nice, so doesn't look like they were covering up wear. It is darker than it shows up in photo.
