Guys, I recently purchased an old 94 Winchester off Gunbroker. I haven't received it yet.
The photos of the old girl indicate that she has some pretty oily wood. The rest of the finish is pretty thin on the metal as well. I don't see any pressing need to refinish it, just maybe spruce it up a little by de-oiling the stocks.
I wonder if there is a way to extract some of the oil from the wood? I had read that putting the stocks in kitty litter in a black plastic bag in the sun for a couple - few days would do a pretty good job.
I wonder if there isn't a better way?
