I have used the Birchwood Casey (SP?) products on several guns. About 10 light coats of TruOil over about 2 weeks and use the Stock Sheen and Conditioner, which has rotten stone in it, and if you like a glossy finish vs. a satin finish, use some carnuba wax or the BC stock wax.
On the metal, I have used the Perma Blue with good results. I seem to get better results if I wash the metal with dish soap and dry it. Then between applications rinse with water really good. Buff it with steel wool and clean again before more bluing. Most steel wool has some sort of oil in it, and it leaves a residue that messes up the bluing if you don't get it off after buffing between "coats"
Lots of old .22s have beautiful wood hiding under years of crud and bad finish. I have a Rem. 41-P I restored that has awesome wood on it. I spent a lot of time on that stock.
Larry Potterfield at Midway USA has how-to videos on refinishing an old .22, I think they are on their website and YouTube.
