Thanks!
What method of "cleaning up" this stock would you recommend?
I have used Murphy's on it and nothing seemed to happen so it is fairly, clean, dirt-wise but I hate scratches on firearms...;o)
Do you thing sanding and actually, refinishing is the way to go, or leave it as is and just use it?
I am also thinking about sending it somewhere to have a professional job done with some rust bluing of the barrels and maybe some case coloring done (nothing too costly but I will spend some reasonable $$. I have most of the rust eliminated already and it looks decent. Need a professional opinion, though, to take it further to "shooter" status...
