I'm new to the blog so bear with me if I mess up. I have a A bolt Medallion that has been hunted hard for 25 years. I would like to take the (poly I assume) finish off of it and go to a Linspeed finish. The checkering on the gun scares me. A gunsmith told me stripper will soften / mush the checkering so I'm really hesitant to use any but I can't see any other way of getting it off. Any and all knowledge/experiences would be greatly welcomed. The Brownell's certistrip looks like a viable option but I would like to hear how others have fared with it.
