Nice looking rifle. I think Biker13 may be right about the linseed oil. I usually use a little Murphy's oil soap in hot water with a Scotch Brite/Sponge pad to get the dirt, grime, and grease off the stock. A lot of people use Simple Green but I believe it is more aggressive. Let it dry overnight then put on a few coats of Boiled Linseed Oil. Some folks prefer Tung Oil. As for the metal, denatured alcohol.
