One more suggestion: You're dealing with a $3-400 gun here. Any professional refinish will likely cost more than the gun is worth, regardless of what you paid for it. As Ted suggest, let him shoot it for a while. He may love it or he may not shoot it well, at all. Going into debt, trying to make a silk ear out of a sow's purse, might not be a good idea, right away.
