Yeah... There looks to be nothing wrong with that stock from a functional or structural standpoint.
A good soaking in Acetone for a while will clean it up nice. It doesnt even appear to have much oil in it either.
Granted, there may not be much room for sanding if needed. But with the overall condition of the gun, you would not want to go the route of a refinish to "Like New".
A good cleaning and freshening of the finish is all that in order before laying down new checkering.
Straight Shellac would be a proper finish for this by the way.
