So I finally received my rifle, now, as a C&R I must log it in. Which serial number do I use? The 5 digit one stamped below the 1931 year mark, or the long one from CAI when they imported it?
Secondly, while mostly in great condition (haven't even cleaned, but the bolt moves VERY smoothly, and the trigger is VERY nice), it has some surface (I think surface only) rust, and the entire wood stock, while nice looking is just downright dirty. What are the best ways to clean them without damaging the wood? I was leaning towards just getting a rag wet with #9 and rubbing it down, but wasn't very sure.
The stock looks well, pretty. Which surprised me. All in all, I got a great rifle from J&G, course I still need to shoot the sucker.
Other nice things, the bolt slides smoothly, the bayonet mounts easily and snugly, and the rifling appears very good.
