I decided to clean up the stock and refinish it then keep it as a backup deer rifle. I removed the old finish but there are several places where the wood is almost black. I assume this is form oil as it is mostly where the metal was close to the wood. also where the end grain is like on the end of the comb and forend. I used some fine sandpaper to remove the finish and some furniture refinisher to remove the stain. I am not pleased with the wood underneath as it is faily bland with not much figure. When done i will post some pictures,
