I carefully removed the safety components from the stock. The little pushrod was quite rusty. I used a drill bit that was .001" larger than the pushrod and slowly, with my fingers, turned the bit and cleaned out the hole in the wood. I polished the pushrod and now it moves freely in the stock. Is there anything I should put on the pushrod to lubricate and prevent siezure, or should I leave it clean and dry? The stock is in very nice condition. A handful of Q-Tips with 91% isopropyl alcohol removed all the oil residue. Thankfully, this gun was never deluged with oil. I cleaned the head of the stock down to bare wood, with ease! The right sear was bearing against the stock, so I carefully removed a small quantity of wood to allow for the sear to move freely and the stock to move forward against the receiver, like it should be.
