I would like to get a consensus on refinishing the stock of my 1903.
The bluing in about 90% and is I believe, original.
I would like to have the stock refinished and the checkering cleaned up.
After a 100 years the wood is in pretty rough shape, I would estimate condition at 60%.
I do hunt with it and my "collection" of MS is the 1903 and a 1961 MCA.
I know there must be threads on this but I have been unable to locate them.
In the past I have always felt It's mine and my decision to make but, I don't want got destroy the collectibility.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for input.
