JSmith, does your 1917 have stocks with a varnish or clear coating of some sort? Mine does, and when I showed it to Roy Jinks he said the finish wasn't original, which is probably true. I'm just wondering if your stocks are sort of glossy too. Do you notice if the grips fit well, of if they are a bit "undersized", as if they have been sanded and refinished?
