Methinks we is trying to separate the fly poop from the pepper....

The colours Jakko has posted can be mixed from burnt umber and Iraqi sand in various quantities. You only need something close. As Ron says, the real thing varies in colour almost infinitely, and can be modified even more by gun oil, sweat, general grime and even any protecting finish used in manufacturing. The only thing I would say is that the colours are not that red tinted so stay away from chocolate brown….

Weapons furniture darkens and patinates with usage due to dirt, oily hands, sweat, climatic conditions, wear, etc, etc! Doesn't pay to get too pedantic about exact colours mate! Modern furniture is less prone due to improved treatments and sealants!

Go to https://www.youtube.com/c/ForgottenWeapons/videos and search for the specific weapon, and you'll probably find he's featured one.

There are a lot of really good videos on that channel if firearms history and the way they work are among your interests. Look up the one on “Kraut Space Magic” if you want to see how exotic you can make a gun if you really try
