Kirk what gauge is it? My guess is a 20.

Brian did one that looks close to that for me only he remembered the other trigger. He fit a pair of 16ga Krieghoff Bbls as well. Fantastic work and I decided to wait a bit and wear my original Case off then have him re-do it. The OE Claro stock broke through the wrist on clays. Nice write up on his web site.

I was really happy with how the wood turned out on this gun. I dont know what was on the stock from the factory, but it had a real reddish color to it. I used no stain on the stock when i refinished it. Just pro custom oil. The natural color of the wood was great without any help.

Brian -What was the original finish on Reproductions? Urethane? If so, how did you remove it?

Yes. Some sort of urethane. Acetone will soften it some. But sanding does most of the work. 120 grit works well.

Here is one Mr. Bachelder did the work on. I think it is a lovely gun now.

Acetone did nothing to remove the 'urethane' finish on one of my Repros. The thing that really did the trick was a paint remover Kathy uses in refinishing furniture that has had several coats of different colored paints, problem is I don't remember the name of the paint remover.

I think Brownells sell some sort of thermonuclear paint remover for urethane finishes. I understand it helps, but it's still a bear to strip off the urethane
