Please opine. 10/22 TALO VII Exclusive

[Chief Sapulpa]

I’m surprised Talo didn’t reject that one due to the poor finish of the stock.

That makes me wonder if it was intentional like conditionzero suggested.
The stripper idea is a good one.

 

[Cold Smoke]

Don't sand - use strippers. Not the kind pictured below. Use the chemical approach with a medium toothbrush to work in and around checkering. If you sand you can't add back what you took off. Finish may be to your liking but the fit and detail will diminish. The chemical approach is better.

Chemical approach supposedly works with strippers too...

I wouldn't touch it.

 

[Two Gun Warrior]

The gun is very uneek, beautiful wood grain, looks like it might have had an oil finish and someone sprayed it with a urethane. Might try the steel wool where there is no checkering. Another idea would be to try a rub on polish to try to smooth the finish out.

Specially at closing time.
