Did i do good guy's an whats my next step.

[mmppres]

Hi guys need some info on this enfield No1 Mk3 i traded a guy a living room set for it. The rifle was totaly sticky with grease an dirt. I took it all apart an soaked it down with a cleaner called purple power that i got at the auto parts store. Was told by a old vet that he used it to clean coasmaline off auto parts an it was eco friendly which i couldnt find on package. From my research on this site alot of old guys used hot soapy water to clean rifles. I soaked them an brushed them down then rinsed in hot water till they ran clean. Then dried them off an hung the wood to dry. Metal was oiled for now till i can go ober them an make sure i got all off. Now i knowi have to let wood dry, what is correct finish to apply to wood n metal.Bore was bright an clean, here is a few pictures from what it started out as, Hope i did ok this is first one i tried to clean.
