What Doug says...
They definitely tended to run out of walnut during the frenzy of wartime production, evidenced by beech-wood grips of late WWI. The guys who checkered wooden grips at the factory could certainly fly! I saw a film clip from a link once posted here, of a Mauser tech doing it. He seemed to be using a 5-line (or more) cutter and zoomed across the grip! Scraps from making K98 stocks provided much of the material, IIRC.
