you can 'blend' a finish to match by dry brushing with various stains - used extensively in high end refinish of antiques , but it takes a lot of time and patience , it is worth it in the end ,
it also takes a little cash as you need to buy a small [expensive] can of stain in every color you see represented and a separate good quality brush [also expensive] for each color but they last well as your not saturating them only barely touching them to the color for blending purposes , start with good wood tho - no future in this effort in bad lumber ,

Over the years, I've given serious thought to having mine Parkerized. I saw one once and it looked really nice. The owner told me that his father had been given the rifle as a gift by an Indian official and that it came with that finish. Interesting story but the finish did look nice.
