What wood was the German rifles/assault rifles made out of? And to that point. What colour Vallejo Model Colour paint would suffice to start as a base for said wood?
Go to https://www.youtube.com/c/ForgottenWeapons/videos and search for the specific weapon, and you'll probably find he's featured one.What wood was the German rifles/assault rifles made out of?

Close John, actually Beech wood. The pre and early war pieces tended to be mostly Walnut of various types hence the color differentiation as Jakko explained earlier.If I remember correctly, pre and early war stocks would be walnut. late war ones tended to be laminated, possibly Birch.

Also have to consider it getting worn when in use in a battlefield. I think i'll just wing it and choose a colour lol
