Will do. I am going to give my other rifles a treatment as well.
And thanks to everyone for the advice.

Ricohman: Here's my Mk I* linseed oil soaking tube. As I mentioned, on a sunny day it heats up nicely if I stand it in front of the garage. Glad the oil helped with your forend- that's a beautiful rifle!

That's a great idea. And a lot cleaner than how I've been doing this.

Off track a bit, but is that two different No9 bayonets. The top ones look polished blades while the bottom one looks like our later spec phosphated blades

It must be the sun and my cell phone. The blade is polished.
Peter, are these bayonets really that pointed or should they be dullish on the end like the sword type?
