Model 600 oil finish

Post by Ted »

Did any of the early M600's have a factory oil finish? Have serial # 75xx and it does not have the high gloss poly finish....have examined it very carefully and it doesn't appear to have been refinished.

It all depends on what you mean by oil finish. My idea of oil finish would be a dry looking stained stock with really no evidence of a clear coat. If that matches your definition then no. There stocks definitely had evidence of a top coat. Maybe not the thick gloss of some manufacturers, but defiantly a cleared finish.
