Is there more than one type of the A1 triangular grip? I see online the pictures of some have a nice shiny glaze to them but looking at others they look like they were sanded or were not given a smooth texture. Now I own a 1976 SP1 and it has the smooth glaze texture ones. So what I'm asking is all cosmetic concern. My other question is if I buy one with that sanded look can I fix it with some clp being rubbed on it? I rub my SP1 down from time to time to keep it looking nice. If there is a difference is it because of the fact that Hydra and others made M16's at the same time as Colt did for the vietnam war effort or is it a difference in year of manufacture? Also could it be that the old school parts are weathered from use in the field or could it be oxidation of the fiberlite? Sorry for the million questions.
