Hello, I'm getting a No4 Mk1 Enfield. It has no rust, I think 4 groves in the barrel, and the adjustable folding leaf sight. It has few if any importation stamps on the stock, & a decent bore!
I want to clean it up. My goals are to refinish the stock like new (period accurate), I want to add a fiber optic front sight, and buy a magazine for it (Currently has no mag).
The stock is dark, I guess that means it's been oiled heavily. How would you strip the oil out of it? (I read in a magazine that soaking the stock in mineral spirits would work)
And what else would you do to give it a just manufactured look? (And I know what that will do to the value)
