I finally today took possession of my 1941 model 99 in 300 Savage.
This rifle is to replace the one I had in the 70s and for some reason (I can't even remember) sold.
It has been my goal (in recent years) to replace every firearm I ever owned and stupidly sold and I am getting towards the end of the list.

First question is...
What was the original finish of the walnut stock on this rifle?
I have been cleaning with some Murphy Soap and the crud has been really coming off as you might expect.

It looks like an oil finish, but which kind?

Thanks
G
