Ok I have started work on my latest project a Mossberg Model 46B(b) I have stripped it down and started to work on removing the finish on the wood. Here is where I am at now. I am at the 400 grit sanding stage.
I am still up in the air on how I am going to finish the metal. It is down to three things.
1. Brownells Alumyhyde II in mate black
2. Brownells Oxpho-Blue cold blue
3. Gunsmith hot tank blue job.
If I can find a decent smith that will blue it after I strip it for a decent price I may go that route as it will give me the best finish results. |

Stained stock last night. Going to start clearing it today with DEFT Lacquer. Still up in the air on the metal finish.
I started stripping the barrel and I have some pitting on it. But it is not that bad. Need to order some Oxpho-blue today. I also need to order a inner mag tube as the one I have is a short one. | |

Looks pretty good so far.  __________________

That's a beautiful piece of wood! I have done a lot of woodworking and furniture building/refinishing and learned a neat trick to bring out a nice shine. Cut a piece of brown paper bag and place it on a pad sander (preferably a random orbit sander) and buff the wood after applying the last coat of finish and rubbing-out with 0000 steel wool. This works for everything except polyurethane or shellac, but works best on handrubbed oil finishes like tung oil, Danish oil, or linseed oil mixtures. __________________
