After Kroil and steel wool, a coat of Forby's Tung oil help bring out the black and white pattern and protect it as well.
I also have to chime in regards opening chokes. Ed gave you some good advice. You mentioned you are going to reload anyway and by doing so you can load up some spreader loads to open up the patterns.
Congratulations.

I'll do it! Is Kroil Oil a hardwear store find, or gun store? I've never heard of it. I suppose that Forby's Tung oil is in the paint dept? I've got a few shallow worm holes in the stock. Have to do something with them too.
I'm going to enjoy this project.
Everyone suggests that I leave the chokes as is, and I'm going to take their advice. In bright sunlight one can see quite a lot of rust and staining. Pitting too here and there. Not much I can do about the pitting, but I'll touch the rust and stains some more with oil soaked 0000.
