Refurbished Shotgun

[Wildlife]

Just completed doing work on my 23 year old deer shotgun. Now she’s good for another 20 plus years!

1995 12g 3" chamber Remington 870 Express Magnum Pump w/ a 22.5" Rifling Barrel & a Bushnell Trophy Bone Collectors Edition 3x9-40 Duplex Rifle Scope.

Last week I duracoated the action, pump & barrel. This week I refinished all the wood.

Before:

After:

Product used to strip the old finish and gun oil that works really well.

Just need to sight it in to complete it for this year's deer season and that's it!

Nice work. Looks good.

Wow that turned out great! What color duracoat did you use?

Thing about duracoat...keep deet/bug spray far away from it! It works real good if you ever want to strip it back down though...

@Wildlife thanks! I may have to try that. I've got a gun in desperate need of a new finish.

@Wildlife thanks! I may have to try that. I've got a gun in desperate need of a new finish.

Apply multiple thin coats and allow to dry completely between them. The reason I went this route for my shotgun is because It gets fairly abused during the late season weather/field conditions. I figured it would be easier to keep it up rather than the bluing solution. I do have products in stock to blue my other rifles that I intend on restoring back to their original state, but for this application, I went the easier and more convenient route. I think it turned out alright. I've cycled the action many times and the duracoat seems to hold thus far. Seems to be some tough stuff!

Good luck with yours!
