[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3886286, member: 41176"] Whatever you do, DO NOT SAND. As tempting as it will be to put a piece of sandpaper to it, wet or dry, tung oil or watco's or whatever, don't do it. You can clean it really well and use a good refinisher that fills the grain, but as soon as you sand it, all that color and character disappears forever. There are good refinishers that kind of "blend" the old with the new, like Formby's or Restor-a-Finish I wouldn't blue it either. I know, tempting...the bubba in us wants to F everything up of beauty in the gun world in the name of "better". Just resist. [/QUOTE]
