Hello all, this is my first post on this forum. I found this place while researching refinishing techniques for military stocks. Anyways, this is my one and only rifle. It was passed down to me by my uncle. It's a nice M1941 Johnson. My question is wether to try and restore this stock or leave it as is. Here are the options I'm thinking:

A) Strip the old finish, steam out the creases. Lightly sand remaining nicks and dents. Refinish with boiled linseed oilicon.

B) Do nothing except giving it a good cleaning and rub down with boiled linseed oilicon.

Here are some pictures of the stock right now. Sorry, I don't have pics of the rifle assembled, that will come later. Thanks, your comments appreciated.
