Browning gunstock refinish

Before, during and after. I hate the Browning finish, they are real hard to duplicate.

I've heard its pretty hard to get off...did you find that to be true?

I'd love a less "gloss" finish on my 1886 but havent had the stones to try it.

That's beautiful.

VERY nice work. If you get a nick in the browning finish, it’s almost like a never going back thing. Now I know where to go!

0000 steel wol or Scotchbrite pad and lightly buff, to dull the finish.

Buff to a dull finish and apply several coats of Satin or Semi-Gloss Polyurethane. Lightly buff between coats.

Not necessarily "hard", just time consuming. I used 320 grit scotch gold on a double action 6" automotive sander and it comes off. The delicate balance is finding out what works versus getting too aggressive and removing too much wood. The trick is get through the finish and then STOP lol.

I had some light scratches in my BL-22 due to LGS careless racking. Used Markron Gun Stock Eraser.
