Love the patina on the steel, stock is looking like it was abused. That being said I wouldn't dare to redo it. It has the look of a work horse which gives it class. Nice pick upsigpic

maybe you cann keep some of the shellac that flakes off, redissolve in alcohol and put in a jar. After you clean the stock, you can reapply the original shellac to even out the stock.Comment

Nice looking bore, she should make a great shooter.

Awesome gun!
You planning to redo the stock or leave it as is?"The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke speech of 23 April 1770, "Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents," delivered to the House of Commons.Comment

A gunsmith recommended 409 Cleaner let it set then rinse with hot water. I've used other methods but this was quick and simple, did it 3 times (rubbed lightly with plastic scruffie pad) on my SKS's upper handguard and all the original stuff was gone, the wood is ready to stain to match the stock and oil. He uses this method on antique firearms as well. It might work on that dried finish on your stock.So yay, everything matches!
It looks pretty much like any of the others save for maybe the bluing is more faded, but i actually wanted that. I like a good patina. I only really cared for a decent bore.
So a ran couple patches and.... Bling! and near perfect sharp mirror bore:
Has the cleaning rod too so pretty much an original match
The wood actully isnt as bad as it looks. It has that oxidized shellac like stuff. I have been able to scrape it with my fungernail and have gotten some off with denat alcohol. underneath its not bad i just have to figure how to get the stuff off, I dont really think i need to sand or refinish. Well actually im not going to sand or refinish. Its pretty grungy but Im really happy looks like it will be a great shooter with some cool history. If you guys are on the fence, grab one while you can its a great dealComment

Yes, would like to see what you uncover there. It is kind of fun, bringing C&Rs back to life, isn't it? Have you ever read the Box O Truth website? http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu60.htm The guy who writes it re-finishes a lot of cheap C&Rs, he used to work in woodwork and finishes. It is an interesting approach. It's kind of like hot rods, you can keep everything as stock and original as possible or you can go nuts and really re-imagine the rifle, change wood color, re-metal to look like new.
I think I lean toward keeping them as original as possible as long as they are not hideously ugly.NRA Certified Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor, Shotgun Instructor and Range Safety Officer
