I am in the market for a No.4 Enfield and i plan on cleaning it up when i get it. Its gonna be a bit before i get it so i might as well ask how to clean it up so i can get to it when i do get it. I want to know how to clean up the wood and metal. I sanded the stock on my sporterized SMLE and it cleaned up real nice after two coats of linseed oilicon. I plan on buying the rifle for a shooting rifle, not a major collectors peice, but I know some people do not want people to sand the stock, does anybody know why?. What is good for redoing the metal? Is paint good or is a blueing agent better? Any help will probably save me a headache or two.
