Could you describe them? Where are they on the stock?

I uploaded one of the pics you sent. Seems like it is almost like a grease stain or something. Or some type of heat imprint from the forming process. Hopefully someone else who knows more could help!

Looks like machining coolant residue. I would try a scotch Brite pad in a small area first to clean it up. If that doesn't work you can always send it in for warranty repair...

Personally, I'd just cover it with a stock.

Maybe stock wasn't exactly perfectly clean before it went into the anodizing tank.
Part could have been cut from the beginning part of the aluminum extrusion that is a little bit harder being forced through the dies. Sometimes this makes weird patterns in the anodizing because the acid bath doesn't bite as deep and colour goes a bit off...
Either way it's not going to affect the performance of the xbow.
