I'm refinishing an old Stevens .410 single shot, because it was beat to hell, and as some practice. Tore it down, cleaned up the metal, and stripped the wood... but now I'm at an impasse. I had originally planned to stain and satin poly the wood, to give it some shine and toughen it up, but the more I look at the wood, the more I feel like it might be a shame to poly it. My dad suggested butchers wax, tung oil, or dutch oil... and while I feel like the oils may be good choices, I don't know how they'd wear on a gun.
Anyone have any input on refinishing gun furniture?
(also, I'd be making a thread about this process, but like a jackass I forgot to take "before" pics )
