I looked very carefully and I can see around the butt plate small specks of varnish or finish so it looks like at least a coat was applied with the butt plate on. I could scratch it off with my fingernail and it’s too hard to be dried oil. None on the gun metal was found but in the right light I can see where small areas have the top coat missing up near the top lever. I’m not versed in the finishes of gun stocks but something was applied for sure but it’s probably an armchair gunsmith or not one specializing in refinishing. It will be a shooter.
