Is it safe on wood, or is it best to remove the stock?

It’s always a better idea to remove the stock when using chemicals and solvents on the rframe.

$3k is not out of the realm of reality for a Trojan 20 in very high condition… I could seriously be tempted…

This is the 20 gauge 0-frame candidate for bluing removal of the receiver, rust bluing of the barrels, and application of Timberluxe on the stock.
It needs work, but I should end up with a nice looking shooter. I bought it for the way it feels between the hands - just delightful!

Do what you will, it’s your gun. If it were mine I would just reblue the barrels.

My completely blued VH 28 is, as I recall, the seventh 28 made, #97,032, and is still in crispy mechanical condition. It is a 26" gun bored cylinder and full, and is a great hunting gun. I am reluctant to send it away to be refinished.
