Gentlemen: *Has anyone refinished shot gun stock. *Recently purchase a Browning Model 42.
I want to have the stock engraved. *Laser engraved, talked with the folks at Browning and they suggested the stock be stripped before laser engraving. *Actually they suggested sanding the stock.
It looks like there's a polymer finish of some sort on the stock, I don't particular care for this type of finish. *IMHO: it makes the gun look cheap. *There is real pretty wood on the gun, fiddle back walnut.
Any suggestion??????? *I'm thinking about sending the gun to Simons in Missouri or Cole's in Maine.
Problem is: *If I refinish stock with another type of sealer then the fore arm must be done the same.
This is a Christmas present for my Grandson with four family names engraved, if I can wait that long before giving present. . .*** Perhaps Thanksgiving. *Thank you in advance: * * *Junnie
