this is what i did to her
1. stripped the wood with PP and let sit for a few days.
2. sanded most of the nicks and bumps out and made wood filler out of saw dust and wood glue. filled in the BIG gouges with it and let sit for a few days to get really hard.
3 sanded some more.(sanded off and on for about 2 weeks,2 min here and 2 min there)
4 put some red oak stain on her to match up with the upper hand guard.
5. steel wool her with 0000 to get any burs out of the wood.
6. put on about 5 coats of tru-oil,steel wool her down every time I put on another one.
7 steel wool the shine out of the last coat.
8 degreased all the metal parts.
9. steel wool all the metal parts to get rid of all the rust.
10 I had a big pit on the side of the receiver. I got some wet and dry sand paper and took care of that.
11. now everything is clean and degreased I blued all the metal.
12 now the gun had a blue tint to it so I got some flat black enamel high temp. spray paint and sprayed it on a rag and wiped the whole gun down.now the gun has a flat black look to it.
13 put it back together
here is a pic of the gouge out of the upper hand guard
