Stripped off the Uberti red stain and Linseed oil was applied . Can see the grain that was covered up now . Like them better now . What Ya think ? ,,,,,DT
Just do it Creek , the stripping part went quick , cleaned the grips up and buffed just a bit with 0000 wool , that part didnt take more than 30 min. then 6 or 7 coats of oil . Was worth it . They feel better in the hand also ,,,DT
Dusty nice !!! I am thinking of stripping my uberti 1876 ? have you done one ? and what quality wood did you find underneath? I stripped and refinished a winchester model 70 stock years ago (only because it was looking really untidy after being a work gun) - found a really nice piece of wood under the gunk - every time I look at that I just wonder what sort of Idiot it took to cover that walnut up with paint - but then - it was winchester - all thumbs at the time were firmly pressing on the self destruct button .!!!!
Thanks Greyhawk I personally have not stripped a Uberti 1876 / I have seen some that were stripped and oil finish applied . They all looked great. I'd give it a try! ,,,DT
Nice looking project .In my opinion the magazine hanger would be placed 4" to 4-1/2 " back from the muzzle . Should give the look you want . ,,,DT
