thanx wildman....seems everyone truoils stocks...personally i didnt like true oil...could been me not using it right...

i really liked the poly on the flintlock....just wanted to make sure it would last and wouldnt be a waste of time...no idea what is on it now...my flintlock had that same problem with an old clear coat of some sort that dried/cracked/chipped/flaked etc...

just want to make my buddies ole 9422 look a little better...he swears he honestly hasnt cleaned it...said once he poured coleman fuel down the bore into the action and swished it around...he couldnt believe i knew how to take the action out....took me a good 2 hours to get the action and bore cleaned....he takes care of his other guns...but that one is his "every day" gun and is always being used...i was shocked that the bore and action parts didnt seem phased...nothing looked worn majorly or anything...action is dang smooth now....

going to see if i cant get the stock and forend off and get stripper on it tonight so i can let it dry overnight and do a little sanding and finishing tomorrow...just worried about the wood being good since its bare open wood in alot of parts...i wont take it apart if it dont look like it will take it...he doesnt care if i refinish it or not...just said i could if i wanted...
