Noob with a Lee Enfield- Help!

[LuvNH]

Looks pretty good now. It'll be a bit easier to assemble without the crud fitting... I wouldn't worry about the verdigris on the butt, doesn't the butt plate cover it? BLO and go...that will also free more crud from the wood.

Had to go do snow clean up. On my way to get the BLO now. With Regards to metal- thus far I am again doing just toothbrush, small scraper, and oil. I have some people go crazy with barrel cleaning. I plan to just use a rod with oily cloth rag and run it through many times. Some people say to avoid copper or brass brushes. I don’t have one that fits anyway. I have one to fit my .556, but the .308 one fits initially, but has a wider portion that won’t. To clean the barrel entry I assume. Scotch brite perhaps?
