    Norinco AK wood HELP!

    After a heap of Czech surplus ammo today, I pulled the 56S down for a good clean
    Boiling water down the tube and threw the internals and the gas tube (with wood) into hot soapy water in sink.

    Come back and water was a yellow colour - the dye or whatever has come out of the top wood and its now bare and the colour of balsa

    Anyone have an idea of what the original finish is/was?
