Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Military Surplus magazine just did an article on this model. I would be a nice issue to have to go with your rifle.

Is it all original or does it have a replaced barrel as many were refurbished in WWII. Mine has a 2 groove Johnson Automatic replacement barrel. I found with the 2 groove barrels flat based bullets shoot accurately while boat tails do not. Nice rifle you have there.
