Bobby - Are you asking how these parts should be refinished or are you asking how they were originally finished or are you asking what the consensus is of the condition of the existing finish??

Need to know what was the original finish for each part ...

Guy is wanting to go back with original ... have a place to do the Charcoal CCH and the Browning ...

He is is also considering sanding off the original checkering and replacing with exact replica ( have a lady with 35 years experience in the industry that does that for me when I need such - she is wonderful) ... some of the checkering is basically gone and there is quite a bit of damage inside the checkering panels ...

Not trying to back to a classic and exact restore ... Dad's and Granddad's old gun ... he is just wanting to get it back to "an original look" ... $$$$ value being affected is not a concern here ...

Apologies to the Purist out there who see this as sacrilege ...

Appreciate your note back on clarification ...

In the process of prepping the metal ... taking out any dents, donks, dinks and scratches possible.

The Butt Stock has been stripped and all of the flaws repaired. Had 3 different breaks and cracks that needed attention. With that done it is ready for the final sanding and prep after the replacement of the Butt Pad ... the semi accurate replacement generic butt pads are not quite a perfect fit - gonna be some challenges there ...

This is gonna be a fun ride ...
