If it's the urethane finish, I understand it's brutal to get off. Brownell's sells a stripper for urethane, but I think it still requires a lot of elbow grease

Had to lower comb on a Beretta. The finish was impervious to any stripper i had. Used a well sharpened scraper to remove finish then proceed as usual

Supposedly from what I have read the satin finish is a spray on lacquer finish.

Years ago I refinished an 870 stock that had the glossy synthetic finish typical of 60's - 70's Remingtons. I forget what they called it but it was tough stuff. I was able to get it off without too much trouble using pieces of broken glass as a scraper. Breaking the glass yielded scrapers of different sizes and shapes. It worked well. I refinished using Tru-oil. It still sees service as a turkey/crow gun on occasion.

Here is my other issue I have. Depending on the look of the wood, what new finish I put on it.
Oils finishes are nice, but if the grain is really pretty I have a superposed from the 60s that has a gorgeous gloss finish on it. Problem is I am pretty certain I don't have the proprietary formula for Browning 2 part high gloss finish.

New Wood
Well I got the wood in from Numrich. Really nicely figured. No checkering, but that may just be a project to get into at some point in the future. This isn't a permanent mounting, I just wanted to verify how the wood looked together on the gun.
I am currently deciding how best to strip the wood and then how I am going to refinish it. Possibly truoil or possibly BLO or possibly LMF permalyn. We will just have to see what I decide when I finish my research. Who knows, I might end up deciding to go with french polish...\ All I know is it won't be satin.

That is a very pretty stock and deserves to be checkered.

Well I have been playing at checkering on some scrap wood. We shall see how that goes.
Have the stocks fully stripped finally, that took forever to get off, and have sanded them down to 600 grit. Now trying out the finishes on some walnut boards we cut, plained/joinered, and sanded. Only one coat so far, but left to right its Waterlux, Permalyn Finish, Permalyn sealer, Ben Matte, Fornby's tung oil. Just one coat so we shall see how they look after some other coats. Permalyn sealer is definitely the thinnest, as I would expect and Ben Matte appears to be the thickest and darkest. Will see what my experimenting finds before I finish them.
