So I went home monday for family reasons and stayed with my dad and his wife. Dad took tuesday morning off to show me some property where they're gonna put a new house. I figured I'd grab my old twenty gauge and 10/22 and dad and I would squirrel hunt while walking the property. With me working and him working these opportunities rarely present them selves. So I go to grab them from safe and my father tells me that my stepbrother and his friends had used them and that he still had them. No problem I figure he probably used it and they would be sitting in his room. I walk into his room and ask him where they are. He tells me he'll have to grab them from his truck and that they are looking pretty beat up. He wasn't kidding. He and his friends had taken the barrel off the 20 gauge and lost the plug, spring and cap and he "refinished" the stock on my 22. Looks like crap. I don't mean that figuretively. I mean the the stain that he put on there looks about the same color as a peice of crap. I'm pretty pissed. I was even more pissed when I went to gander mountain this morning and the guy there told me the parts, if he could find them, would be around 89 bucks and to refinish the 22 would be pretty expensive too.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find parts for a winchester youth ranger (1300) shotgun? Let me know.

If you have any ideas on how to clean up the stock on my old 22 I'd also be willing to listen. I am figuring I'll sand it down and try to stain it a nice dark brown but I don't know if it will work.

Any advice is appreciated.
