THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

I found a really nice PSL rifle locally. The only problem was that the guy refinished the stock with a dark walnut. I want to remove the stain and re-stain to something more original.

I was able to remove a lot of it using the Formby's Conditioning Furniture Refinisher. Because it is so dark, I couldnt get it all off. I was thinking about bleaching the stock and then prep for a Minwax Gunstock color.

I am having a hard time removing this bushing. Should I just leave it in? I am worried about it rusting.

What do you guys think?

Looks like they are put together in the stock and flared or something. I'd leave it in place.

Don't take yourself so seriously - Me
