I'd ask that gunsmith if robbing banks was his day job? :barf:
You can clean up that rust with four 0 (0000) steel wool and WD-40. Soak a piece of the steel wool with the WD-40 and rub the rusted surfaces gently until the rust is gone. Give the barrel a good cleaning with a good solvent and tight patched. Refinishing a stock is easy, remove the old finish, sand and fill the wood and use whatever type finishing material you like. (oil, Varathane, whatever you think you'd like best.) A product like Varathane would probably be the easiest, but oil is nice and any field induced boo-boos on the stack are more easily taken care of.
