strip the shiny finish off of your 1873 uberti's and replace with oil finish too look more like origional finish ?
If you do , what do you use to remove factory finish ?

There is a tutorial on this at The Open Range site, here:

These turn out very nice.

I've used this method on all of my Ubertis and my CZ hammer classic shotgun.
I use Winchester red stain by Tapadera
http://www.tapaderaswinchesters.com/stain.html
which is an amazing product. It is very easy to use and produces a warm red color.
I use Tried and True oil varnish, which is just about the closest today to the old boiled linseed oil of the 19th century. Rocklers usually stocks it.

I plan to do this to my gun as well, nice to know about the red stain as I like that color. But its a low priority for a winter day with little todo.
