Explanation:
esto no es una respuesta. Solamente una idea. La única definición que encontré de gunstock, pero lo define como la parte de madera. Y el único color que recuerdo haber visto definido en base a armas de fuego (o al menos es el uso que le conozco) es el del acero pavonado (una cobertura azulada para proteger delóxido o algo así) que da u color muy especial. Hace poco vi en una novela describir el color de los ojos de alguien en esos términos. Probablemente nada que ver pero por ahí sirve de algo.
