Joe,
I would be very hesitant to do any sanding on your rifle. Stripping the paint with any paint remover I know of will most likely also strip the original stain, if any is left, under the paint. If you sand it you are most probably going round off the sharp edges on the hand guard and grasping grooves on the stock and possibly some of the cartouches. Any sanding will severely reduce the value of the rifle. By the way does the stock have the W in the very front of the stock? If it was my rifle and all the markings are intact I would not do anything to it and enjoy it for what it is. However it is your rifle and if you feel the need to try to restore it I wish you good luck in your project.
