I posted some photos of Dale Edmonds barrel refinish of this gun the other day. Decided to tackle the woodwork myself. What I thought was a crack on the side of the buttstock was actually a scratch. I have 1 coat on the wood so far. Thought you might like to see some of the colt parts. I soaked the wood in acetone overnight and it pulled the old oil out nicely. Soaked all the metal in 10wt oil overnight.
