The 3" rifle is not painted to represent bare wood, but rather the ochre paint used on some Confederate pieces. I was looking for a link with the Ordnance manual regulations. This page has a good explanation. A number of 3" rifles were captured on the march to Gettysburg, so many of the ANV bases I'm painting up now will use a darker olive green.
