I just acquired a 1956 Model 336 in. 35 Remington that is rough at the least, no blueing, minor pitting, weathered wood. My plan is to cerakote and if the stocks are salvageable to refinish, or replace if needed. Any particular things to investigate before investing time, money, and effort in to rebuilding it? Got it dirt cheap, and realise any collector value is gone, but always wanted a .35 to pair with my .30-30, .32 Win and my first rifle ever, a model 39 .22.
