I bought an older Uggie as a gift for my brother: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=196727981







I'd like to clean it up a bit but I'd also like to have it ready to give him at Thanksgiving, so a complete refinish isn't really an option.

Beyond a new recoil pad, what sort of small fixes would you guys do to clean this old gun up?

Right now I'm thinking WD40 and steel wool on the metal.

How about the wood? Do you think it's just dirty and grimy, or is there actually old gun oil in there? Any tips or techniques for making it look like it spent the last twenty years in a gun cabinet instead of behind the seat of a farm truck?
