Long story short, I am looking for a good way to refinish an old Remington stock. A Mod. 788, old in original condition, lots of gun oil with years of use and wear. Not damaged other than a few dings. Been in hiding for 20+ years. I will do the bedding, I would like to end up with modern desert colors.
Already bought scope, bipod, Timney trigger, sling, Weaver style rings, ammunition . The only thing left is “how to treat the stock”. I’m not any kind of wood butcher (carpenter). Reaching out to the most knowledgeable group o guys I trust. Anybody want to help? Thanks.
Me.
Post Script: Cost is not a big issue, but I would like to do it myself. If the answer is have it done by a professional, so be it. But I’d like the satisfaction of doing it myself.
