I have a Savage No. 4 with an immaculate 2 grove barrel.

I need to know what type of finish to use on the barreled action that would be the correct finish.

Serial number is 56CXXXX

The exposed metal was badly rusted, but an overnight bath in Evaporust (Which I HIGHLY reccoment) has solved the rust problem, hopefully for good...

Also, would the misc parts, including barrel bands, trigger guard, screws, and the metal that's pinned to the wood be finished the same way, or would it be painted?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
