[QUOTE="1lessdog, post: 355545, member: 6971"] I use to have a special when I had my shop. If I blued your gun I would refinish the wood for half the cost. I would recut the checkering and put a real nice hand rubbed tru-oil finish. When refinishing stocks I would sand down to 600 grit then put the stock under water so it had a good bath. Then I had a box that was about 1 ft sq and about 40 inches tall. Then you want to hang the stock in the box with a 100 watt light bulb. When good and dry take it out. I called it whiskering the wood as you could feel little pieces of wood sticking up. I would then take 0000 steel wool and rub the whiskers off. The stock will be really smooth. Now its time for the Tru-oil. I would put a coat on and put it in the box to let dry. When using the box method you could put about 3 coats on in a 24 hr period. Each time I would take the stock out of the box I would rub the stock with 0000 steel wool. After 7 or 8 coats You are done and you have a beautiful hand rubbed finish. [/QUOTE]
