That does look nice. I really like the look of a Sharps. Would like to shoot one some day. 'Course then I'd probably want to buy one...

Looks good on this end. What did you use to give it that nice satin look?

Refinished the Sharp's
I agree it looks more authentic.
I know this isn't the woodworking forum but those of us who love to do this kind of thing always want to know; "I stripped it" - How and with what? Did you sand? Did you fill? Any other finish except oil? How long did it take? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks y'all. I stripped it with Klean Strip. I did sand it a little bit. I didn't have any filler or I would have used some. I intended to just use BLO on the bare wood but it wasn't as dark as I wanted. I used Min Wax dark walnut stain with no polyurethane. I was afraid the BLO would bleed out the stain so I just rubbed it down with Mobil Super motor oil. Once I get back to work and get caught up I may go back and clear coat it but right now just using what I have on hand.

Hawg - I suggest a coat of paste wax over the oil.
