Re: First year M700 carbine bow guard and bottom metal finish
Have been able to determine that both the bow guard and bottom metal on first year (1962) M700 BDL Carbines had a matte finish.

I have come to the conclusion that the first Generation bottom metal is a hard anodized finish of the aluminum, giving that dark gray matte appearance.
