After playing hid & seek with the sun, I'd put it out and up come gray a cloud and drizzle, gave up and the hair drier came out.
the Stock then got 0000 steel wool.... and when the Hair Drier would no longer pull moisture ( Mineral Spirts & Cosmo ) a final wipe down with absorbent blue paper shop towels.
Two coats of Skidmore's lifted  what was last of any grime in the grain that would come off .....buffed out
Time to reassemble the miscellanea of cleaned parts...including the newly acquired front barrel band...
when planets align...do the deal !

After a total break down, a quart of Mineral Spirits and elbow grease.... 80 + years of Cosmolene was cleared from every nook & cranny.
The barrel & action was cleaned with Ed's red revealing a bright bore. 
The Barrel slugged @ .328 with strong bright rifling.
Clips were found on yond EBay, and Prvi Partizan 8MM X 50 Lebel ordered and a period box label printed.

Next is to order some .329 lead bullets  :)

All in all , I'm quite pleased in my $150 find
