With the model 788 Rem. rifle I just bought today, the barrel and action is in good shape, however, the stock is wore bad. It does not have any gashes or cuts in it just the finish is wore off.
I wanted to know how to refinish it beings I have never done any kind of finish work before. Also, I was told that after sanding it would turn out light colored because of the type of wood it was. I was wanting to know if there is a dark stain out there that the stock would take? Not cherry but something dark like it that rifles come in usually? thanks.
