Guys, I am looking to refinish a nice MG34 stock. How did the Germans do it? Was it stained? What color of stain if so? I assume a linseed oil finish? I could not find any threads on it, so if you find any please post a link.
THanks!

most of them are oiled birch or walnut. cleaning the old oil out is the hard part. - matt
