I want to bring this rifle back from the dead, my Question is the stock seems to be very dry and the old finish is in pretty rough shape and the wood seems to have shrunk but i would like to keep it, is there a way to restore these without hurting the value? what should i do to fill and stabilize the cracks? The pics i have for it are just what the auction hose sent to me of it, i do not have it in hand yet and will try and post better pics when i get it.
