Stock Refinishing

Hello all.

 

I have a winchester 1200...i was thinking about selling them but i wouldnt mind doing a bit of stock work on it. The stock and fore-end are in generally good condition. The wood, i think, looks nice. Its just that shiney "varnish" on top really ruins it in my opinion. Im not looking for absolute perfection....after all it is a rough gun to me.

 

Ive seen a few people use linseed oil (i may be wrong!) and it seems to make the gun a lot lighter, am i correct in saying this?

 

I know people will say "take it to a gun smith" but id like to do it myself :)

 

Id hate to ruin the checkering...how would i strip it :)

 

Anyhows, heres the pictures for you all B)
