I would give it a good rub with some "Birchwood Casey gunoil" or an equivalent. They make one that is designed to be rubbed on stocks. It cleans the stock and lubricates it restoring the "wood" feeling. I use it on a lot of mine, it does the trick.
Do you have pics of yours?
Whatever you do, be 100% sure you know what you are doing when you take the bolt apart and put it together. Guess how I know to be careful.
Yes! Assembling the 1904 bolt is like playing with a Rubik's cube for the first time
Google the Vergueiro bolt and dis assembly. They have a very easy to understand explanation of how to take them apart and put them back together.
The bolts were difficult enough to take down and put back together that the troops were not allowed to take them down in the field.
