Fine Gunstock Refinishing

Factory gunstock finishes are a compromise: manufacturers spray fast-drying urethane or epoxy to meet production schedules, resulting in glossy, plastic-looking coatings that obscure the natural beauty of walnut. Fine Gunstock Refinishing takes the opposite approach—stripping factory finishes entirely and applying a proven blend of oils, dryers, and hardeners that penetrate deep into wood fibers.

Factory finishes: - Lie on the surface, scratch easily - Nearly impossible to repair convincingly - Look fake and plastic, especially over time - Discolor and cloud with age

Hand-rubbed oil finishes: - Penetrate wood fibers for durability - Create a deep, lustrous satin or semi-gloss sheen - Waterproof and field-worthy - Reveal maximum grain and wood pattern - Permanently clear, non-yellowing finish - Minor scratches can be touched up at home with guidance

Scratchches and nicks happen in the field—that's unavoidable. The advantage of Fine Gunstock Refinishing's finish blend is that minor touch-ups can be done at home with the correct materials and their guidance. More serious damage is handled on a per-situation basis. This beats factory finishes, which look like obvious patch jobs when repaired.

Customers consistently report transformation so complete they're stunned the stock is the same piece. The shop handles everything from modern firearms to decades-old family heirlooms, each with the same attention to bringing out the wood's inherent character.
