[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3919240, member: 35036"] So I’m refinishing an old Mossberg 500a that’s in rough shape. Watched some Mike Novak videos on it, but I still have questions, hoping the brain trust can lend me some advice. I’ve stripped the old finish off the stock, don’t have and raised grain from what I can tell. I’m gonna refinish with Tru-oil. Any pointers? I would like to get a nice satin or semi gloss finish, rather than a high gloss. Can I just hit it with some steel wool before coating with wax? I want to return the metal to its nice black finish, to include the aluminum receiver. Should I just blast the receiver with soda and refinish ceramacoat or similar? I’m concerned about the barrels being reblued and not matching, should I just ceramacoat the entire gun?
