take the stock and the fore arm off the #1 zip strip the wood and refinish it with true oil about 4 or 5 coats after each coat drys for a day lightly use fine steel wool then wipe wood off and use true oil coat again after last coat lightly steel wool again then use a good wood wax or even car wax ,you should end up with a nice satin finish. this is way cheaper and if your careful should be better than a Ruger factory finish too. good luck,Pete53
