Did Brian replace the original stock? If not, that sure is a pretty piece of wood for a "V" grade gun.

I use Timberlux to finish every stock I work on. Easy to use with excellent results. Blends in nicely even when only doing some spot touch ups.

Okay, so isopropyl alcohol then TimberLuxe?

Just to be clear, it was Brian Board that refinished the stock and the back end of the forend. I was shocked at how much figure was hiding under that old finish. The stock is Parker original to the gun.

You can store the opened bottle of Timberlux in the freezer and that will keep it from hardening. Just need to shake it up before you use it.

They also sell an aerosol can that I believe is nitrogen, that you spray into the larger bottle that keeps the finish from hardening. I found it to work well.

It most assuredly is a Remington era or even of Ilion manufacture.

Our friend Greg Miller used to shoot an Ilion VHE just like this one. Beautiful guns!

I was at DelGrego's in the fall of 2019 when Babe was still alive. He stated that my 20 was the "...the only one he had ever seen with all the 'bells and whistles' EXCEPT ejectors. It is SST, BTFE, checkered butt, straight grip. Lawrence also confirmed the stock was factory and showed me the serial # and indentation under the trigger guard. I sure miss those two.
