FN Deluxe Rifle. Restore or not?
09/05/16 10:03 AM

I recently acquired a mid 1950s FN Deluxe sporting rifle. It has its original finish on both wood and metal, original sights and an excellent bore. It has not been drilled for scope mounts or receiver sights. It is chambered for the .300 Savage. It has quite a few dings and scratches on the wood and a few surface scratches on the barrel but no rust or pitting and the checkering is perfect.
Should I just keep it as is or should I refinish the stock with oil?
I own quite a few hunting rifles, all M98 actions, 6 Browning safari grades, a custom 98, 5 Husqvarna 146s and 640s and a BRNO ZG 47. I have 6 different versions of FNs from the pre war M98 pattern to the FN supreme 400 series standard length magnum and H&H cut out version.Including the transitional 1947 and 1948 models. The Deluxe was the missing link.
I would like to hear from members who have experience with this rifle. Thanks.
