Quoted: I'm just waiting for someone to ask for instructions on painting armory numbers on their stocks.

I'm not sure. That is one of my service rifle lowers. I picked up the A1 stock at a gun show, the # was there when I got it.
I'm taking the upper to the local air-brush artist who will add highlights, shadows, and simulated wear. I think this is the best idea as the wear will be totally simulated and not actually harm anything. When I get it back, I will spray the whole thing with a final protective layer of clear satin polyurethane so none of the faux finish will rub off.
The range report will follow the curing of the polyurethane.
When the weather is nice I'll take it to the range. I'll find a clean spot, and strategically place some freshly polished brass around to simulate the effect it was actually fired. I'd like to actually shoot it, but the faux finish may not last long on a hot barrel.
