I just got a Remington Model 510 .22cal, single shot, bolt action rifle. From the date code on the barrel it was made in September, 1947. I intend to sell it rather than keep it. The bluing appears original and in great shape except for a few tiny rust spots and I am not considering doing anything to the metal except standard clean-up and oiling. The stock finish appears to be original but near the butt it looks like it either was exposed to some heat or that some sort of solvent got on it. That portion has very noticeable wrinkling in a non-natural pattern over about 6 square inches on both sides of the stock. I am considering either trying to repair the damaged area or completely refinishing the stock with a linseed oil finish. I am concerned that working on or refinishing the stock could detract from the value. I am looking for opinions on whether I should work on the stock or leave it as-is? Any input would be appreciated.
