GWP Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi Folks, Need some advice on the woodwork on my Beretta Silver Pigeon 3. I attempted to compound out some scratches on the stock and I've gone through the surface back to the bare wood in a patch Does anyone know someone that can give me advice on stipping and oil finishing the stock and forend? Should I take it to a gunsmith for them to strip and refinish? How much would that cost? I live near Goole in East Yorks Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It depends whether you think you are competent enough to make a decent job. Most people are, providing they take is steadily. If you want someone to do it for you - lad on here - Straightshooter - does this and makes an excellent job. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampire Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 You need to be sure that you can finish it if you start to strip it,but heres what to do. 1,strip with nitro mors varnish remover and wash off with clean water and neutralise with spirit. 2,if grain has raised,flatten again using finer and finer sand paper until real smooth,then use scotch pad or oooo steel wool,go over with tak rag to remove dust. 3,stain to colour required and apply tru oil. 4.job done OR its a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libs Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 If you trust yourself and have the time why not have a crack at it yourself? Steam the old oil out and rub the wood back then build up a decent oil finish with one of the many many kits out there. Just look after the head and butt off the wood when your working with it and all will be fine. No matter what you do to it, it can always be sanded back for you to start again!!
