Just wanted to know if I should clean up the stock on my M1 Garand that was my father's, or would a buyer want it in the condition it is in with the petina, before I painstakingly clean it like new ?

Nothing wrong with that stock, frankly. Especially if there is a visible and/or distinct acceptance cartouche and proof stamp. on the butt heel grip. You go getting somebody to go-nuts on it with a bunch of new aged finishes and it lessens the value, period. Lightly clean it, maybe wipe it with a coat of unboiled linseed oil and enjoy it.Just wanted to know if I should clean up the stock on my M1 Garand that was my father's, or would a buyer want it in the condition it is in with the petina, before I painstakingly clean it like new ?
