Default Remington 700

John... Remington used a finish on their ADL and BDL 700's
called RKW. It provided a very hard glossy finish. I was told
it was basically the same finish on bowling balls. Impervious
to harsh weather, hard use, and, yes, difficult to refinish!

I used the glass technique on an 870. It worked like a charm and effortlessly. I was careful not to scrape too deeply though and then finished up with sandpaper. Final finish was tru-oil. I would highly recommend it.

The Zip Strip mentioned earlier rings a bell with me. I stripped a 682 Beretta stock in several stages, one of them being Zip Strip. I remembering using more than one strength of the same brand of stripper to get the results I needed. One thing about the long abused Beretta, all the imperfections and dents were in the finish, not the wood. Refinishing the wood after stripping was a piece of cake. The big Beretta trap stock is now adapted to the action of a Model 42 Winchester to make a man sized .410.

Zip Strip has been around since at least the early 60's and is likely the most prolific stripper ever made. I've only used it a few times but it generally gets the job done.

Brian redid my VH 0 frame a while back. He does amazing work. I am looking forward to having him do a new forend for the set as well.

Everything about that restoration is dead on right. It's nice to know that someone out there can do that quality of Parker restoration. What really impresses me is that Brian made the checkering a color which is in concert with an older gun. I don't like to see a restored Parker with a new checkering look. It's just not appropriate to my eye. I have been doing this for years and its good to see it on this gun. Wonderful attention to detail and work. None better in my opinion. My hat is doffed to Brian.
