I just finished refinishing an old 7400 Remington .308 The stocks, and entire steel works. Whatcha think guys? I also did some custom work on the decorative spacers. I did away with the faux ivory.

Thanks Dog. Polishing the steel was a task. Brandon has seen both of my 4200's. He knows how this one had seen some tough hunting. The other is in near pristine condition. Now this one ranks better, atleast in my eyes. I just can't seem to tackle doing this extensive amount of work on anything that doesn't need it.

Thanks Hunter. It was a task though. Not so much the wood part. It had some moments though. The checkering is tough to get cleaned out without damaging it.

OH MAN!!!!!!! I love the grain on that "ugly one" You could darken that up to bring it out more and she would be a real beauty.

It might have been work, but it looks great now. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing it right. Yeah, the job might not go quick, but every time you pick it up you will appreciate the time you did put into it. Again, very nice. |
