All,
I have searched this forum, and cannot find exactly what I am looking for, so here goes:
I just picked up and old (mfg'ed 1915) Winchester 1912, 16 ga. shotgun. Love the gun! Mechanicals are very nice and tight, bore looks good, and should shoot well, but ...
The buttstock has patches where it still has its original finish (lacquer or varnish), and other places where the finish is worn off (bare wood). Surprisingly, the buttstock is in good shape; it doesn't have many dents, gouges, scratches, etc. Just honest wear.
What can I use/how can I:
a) clean the stock/forearm to remove soils in the unfinished areas (where it is in the grain of the wood) while
b) not removing the remaining finish?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
