Thanks for the input guys. The stock requires refinishing, the varnish is peeling off everywhere, and there are a few dents. The blueing is worn with some surface rust spots. But besides that, a pretty nice rifle.
tbonesmith, here's a close-up pic of the repair on the SMLE stock (sorry it's slightly blurry). This is for a dewat No1Mk3* that will be used in teaching WW1 history at my wife's school.
