I recently bought a Remington 700. It's an older model with a nice wooden stock, raised cheek piece, etc. I've dissembled it for cleaning because it's pretty filthy. I'm probably going to refinish the stock too, because it's pretty beat up.
I had planned on sanding it down and either using wood stain + lacquer or checking out Duracoat.
Two questions:
1. Have you refinished a rifle? If so, do you have any recommendations as to what I should do/use? Any pointers in the process would be appreciated as well.
2. Is there anything I should do to the rifle while I have it dissembled to enhance the rifle? Any tips to maybe improve the stability of the action in the stock, etc?
Thanks!
