My first Lee Enfield

[CINDERS]

I think the wood in the OP's rifle could do with some 0000 Steel wool & RLO/Min Turps 60/40 mix a good scrubbing and wiping down to clean it a little and give the stock a drink as it looks dry as Dead Gulch.
Don't let the steel wool onto the metal work or it will remove the finish real quick, if it has small rust patches these can be removed by STAINLESS steel wool (I use a unimpregnated Stainless scourer) use it with WD40 or RP 7 spray the stainless and scrub the rust spot (avoiding the wood) wipe off with a rag & presto there you go good as new it will not damage the finish, use ordinary steel wool and you'll have a nice chrome like shiney spot where you rubbed it.

Thanks for advice, I will jump on that. I had it apart before I shot it and it is just fine mechanically and structurally. There was one tiny surface rust spot on the barrel that came off with my fingernail, other than that I will get that wood fixed up.
