Rick, I have been doing restoration work for many years and I have work in museums all over the USA and in many other countries. If you'd like I will gladly coach you on this project. Contact me directly and I'll go through the steps you need to take one at a time so you don't do something you can't reverse and that you'll regret.
Before you do ANYTHING, consider that stabilization and restoration is NOT the same as refinishing or refurbishing.
If you refinish that rifle you are going to reduce its value about 80% !!!!!!!
Go slow, and think about every step and what will need to happen after each step. It’s easy to "paint yourself into a corner" if you do this kind of thing wrong.
