Update on this rifle. It's turning into my favorite little shooter since I tore it down, cleaned it up, refinished the stock, put a real cheap scope on it, and new swivels for the sling. I got to say it's pretty cool now and I'm into it for less than a $100 bucks. I didn't want to loose the aged look or color of the original finish on the stock so I did an actone wipedown and cleared it with urethane clear. It looks like it was refinished once before years ago which would account for the lighter than normal color of the wood but it looks pretty good. I'll follow up with pictures in a day or two.
