Pics to come. Cross my heart. Bought a 1905 model in 32 WSL. Rough at first with about 60% finish, a cracked forearm, and a dented stock. Sanded and polished the metal with flitz. Wiped it with alcohol. I used Super Blue to rust finish the metal. Take a propane torch, heat the metal, rub the bluing solution on the metal surfaces. Rub with quadruple 0 steel wool and repeat the heating and wiping process. Oiled the blued surfaces thoroughly after cooling.
For the wood, I used Citrustrip. It cleaned the wood of grease and finish and stain. I used JB Weld wood epoxy to glue the forearm together. The glue will not take the color of the wood. In hindsight I would have mixed wood sandings with the glue appropriate the color.

I used Minwax Gunstock stain mixed 2 to 1 with Sedona Red to approximate the Winchester Red of pre64 wood. I then rubbed light coats of Boiled Linseed Oil into the stock, rubbing hard enough to create heat so the wood could soak it up. Sanded in-between with 400 grit to fill the pores. Still not a mirror or even smooth finish. Lastly, started rubbing the Tru Oil in. Sand between coats and rub again. Now I'm getting the right finish.
