Thanks All, the grips were actually very black when recieved, but I followed the forum's "oxy clean treatment" and it worked great. I used 3 bowls and scrubbed with a soft toothbrush. Then finished with boiled linseed oil. They came out great. What the picture shows as a blur on the left grip is actually a dent in the outside of the grip. The right side grip is perfect. Also, I don't think the spring is broken. I've taken it out and it doesn't look broken and seems to function fine. I also don't notice any scratches to the bottom of the breechbolt.
