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.

What a gun! Bobby

[Bill Murphy]

Great work, Brian. See you at Ernie's.

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?

[B. Dudley]

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.

[Dean Romig]

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
