From the feedback so far, is it safe to assume that a strip and blo the wood probably won’t hurt the value?

What does that faint marking say on the left side of the receiver ring?

If it was me, I'd strip bead blast and parkerize. The wood needs a complete degrease and rejuvenate too. Then it'll be right. Still will be a shooter.

Is that a broken / chipped tooth on the trigger housings mag catch..... On the TH not the actual Magcatch ?
A good stock cleaning sure wouldn't hurt it. Best to coat the wood with RLO.

Thank you for the Merex id. I’d never had made that out. When I get home I can take some more pictures of the mag catch.
I’m hoping a good scrubbing will help.

@ jasonafair,
Are there any Rivets in the back of your hand guard?
Also one picture looks like a Hole inside the trigger loop on the forward side. May just be the picture... but it sure looks like one. If it 'Is' a hole, I have never seen this before :dunno:
See this one:

Add that I'm wrong about a Chip on your Trigger Housing tooth.
Here's yours, compare it to the one I attached below it. Forget about the Peened punch marks on the 2nd picture
