That or denatured alcohol. That will soften the finish and smooth it right out without removing it. If it were mine that is all I would do. There is nothing about the wood that needs refinishing. A few tiny blemishes from careful use is all I can see and they are testament to the light use the gun got. They are its personality. Don't recut the checkering - that is original Remington era checkering that has a distinction all its own.
What a sweet little .410 skeet gun! What a lucky guy you are! Congratulations!!
