It sounds like good prep and finding the right coating are the keys. If it ends up looking ugly, all the better! As long as it kills ducks, it doesn't rust, and the finish doesn't peel off, that all I care about.

By the way, I build fine "furniture" (not gun stocks!) on the side. If I need to see some beautiful wood, I'll pull out my Wingmaster and shoot some pheasants...

Thanks to all for giving me the confidence to give this a try!
