I am "rescuing" (from sporterized back to full wood) a No 1 Mk 3. I was able to secure the wood furniture which was previously used on a DP rifle. To say the wood was coated would be an understatement as it was sticky to the touch. After numerous cleanings using degreaser, a mix of calcium chlorate, acetone and heat to sweat the wood along with elbow grease. I have managed to get the wood to a lighter color (almost light brown, but it always reverts to a dark color after a coat of linseed oilicon. I would hate to sand it as it shows the original markings. Any ideas / suggestions ??
