kiffy Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, I have for sale a standard laminate stock and forened taken from my four year old Remington 870 express shotgun. I bought the gun recently and changed the woodwork to an AGI stock set, As i had previously refinished another shotgun stock set and really enjoyed the whole process I decided to do this one, while far from an expert after almost a months work, chemical stripping, sanding, five coats of walnut stain (to give a nice rich darker than standard colour) and fifteen coats of tru-oil before being knocked back to a satin finish and being waxed as you can see it did turn out pretty nice. not a perfect high end finish but far better than the standard Remington finish and one which im sure would look perfect on anyones 870. this woodwork has not been back on a gun since being refinished, it has sat in a drawer for a few months wrapped up in a tea towel, I have found it difficult to find a value on a used, refinshed 870 stock set and have no ideas what they go for, i know new your looking at a touch over £200 a set from Midway UK (links below). I know to stay in line with forum rules I have to state a price so ill say £100 + delivery and any paypal charges. if anyone knows how to find a valuation please let me know. As I enjoyed refinishing this one so much, I am open to the idea of a trade for your old 870 stock set if its not to rough so i can do another one... PM me with some photos and we can discuss it Stock on Midway £126.95 http://www.midwayuk.com/epages/Midway_UK.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Midway_UK/Products/436414 Forend on Midway £74.95 http://www.midwayuk.com/epages/Midway_UK.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Midway_UK/Products/978776& Also for sale soon will be my AGI stockset as im going to use the gun for wildfowling im going to make it look more normal by fitting a slightly more standard synthetic stock set thats more water friendly than the wood i have here and less likely to upset people than the AGI set Edited August 31, 2013 by kiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
