@Micky Duck I will give you plenty of warning when I come to inspect your collection so they can all be spotless !

Yes the stock is repaired
And I suspect that the dirt will be dried on oil from being stored and never shot.
Likely valuable beyond our dreams and will remain a cabinet queen for ever

I have several rifles that came from collections and might not have been fired for 100 years and the amount of old dried oil and dirt accumulation showed unfired for a very long time

Are you bored of your nos recently acquired already?

@Boxton No not bored. But both those rifles were relatively easy fixes and are all sorted now.

But always looking into the distance at what's just over the horizon
