well - took advantage of a nice day and set about removing what I thought was going to be oil from the stock. after removing the locks i discovered the inside of the inletting was bright and clean. so - some Murphy's oil soap and elbow grease and a very soft tooth brush in the checkering to remove over a hundred years of crud and i was very happy with the results. Nothing more needs to be done with the wood. A little more cleanup on the out side of the barrels with Hoppes 9 and a frontier pad and the pattern is even better, I may put a coat of Formby's tung oil on the barrels but that would be all.
John was right - no striker springs - just a fair amount of dirt and old oil making them stick.
i added some after pictures to the album, still just an old Belgium gun, but its not a bad looking clunker.
