I recently acquired a last ditch Arisakaicon from a non gun interested friend that had an elderly family member pass away.

I have no interest in firing the gun but honor its historical signifigance. It is pretty good shape but has been stored poorly. I intend to clean it up using the typical gun cleaning chemicals with a lot of nylon bristle scrubbing to remove surface rust.

What should be used to treat the stock on these rifles. What did the IJA or IJN call for in there FM when handing these guns out to the young and elderly for homeland defense.

Thank you for all assistance offered. If anyone wants info regarding proofs or build type tell me what you want and where to look for it.
