My first gun, a 1986 Browning Citori, looked a little ragged around the edges when nestled in the cabinet next to my newly refinished AYA. Until I'd done the AYA I hadn't noticed all the knocks, scratches and general long-in-the-toothiness that the Browning was showing these days. So it seemed only fair to the old girl that I gave her the same treatment. I followed exactly the same process as with the AYA - stripping the stock with Nitromors, steaming up the dents, sanding down the scratches and flattening the grain before applying seven coats of Tru-Oil (rubbing the first four coats down with 0000 wire wool but building up the finish of the last three coats). Here are some before & after photos to give you an idea of the improvement. Stock showing its years before refinishing Forend before refinishing Forend fully stripped down & showing its scratches. Forend stripped of factory finish. Wood is lighter in colour and showing nice grain. Close-up of forend showing nice grain. Forend after seven coats of Tru-Oil. The wood has darkened and the grain has highlighted well. Stock and forend after refinishing. The wood has darkened really nicely in colour and the grain has contrasted well. The grain of the stock has come out well. Close-up of a nice burr on the stock. Close-up of the hand of the stock, showing the nice contrasting shapes & colours of a knot. Wood work & metalwork reassembled. Overall I'm pleased with the way the old Browning turned out.
