Thanks Bill! Is Tru-oil alcohol soluble? Whatever is on the gun now is very easily alcohol soluble. Do you know what might have been period correct for these Savage era guns? I’m a guitar builder and am ver comfortable with wood finishing so would feel comfortable applying most finishes, but would love to be as close to period correct as possible.
Also, maybe on a tangent, but do Fox collectors care less about original wood finish? I feel like I see many more Foxes going for good money that have been refinished than I see with other guns. Does “period correct” or wood refinishing matter less to the typical Fox collector?
