I got an old Wingmaster a few months back and I'm working on making it a 870P style shotgun.
I already got a blued 18.5 IMP CYL barrel and a new fore end but I want to refinish the original stock to match the fore end. I tried using Easy Off Heavy Duty to remove the finish but it looked like it did nothing, even after three coats. Does anyone have any suggestions for stripping the stock down to bare wood? I know I could just get a another stock unfinished but the checkering on the old Wingmaster stock is so cool to me I'd like to keep it. Here's a picture of the shotgun in question: 
Also I'm thinking about putting in a sling swivel on the stock too, I'm guessing Brownells has those in stock, but is there any general rule as far as location goes? |

Quoted:
Sand it down using progressively higher grits. Easy off only removes the finish that boiled linseed oil applies. I should of mentioned I'd rather avoid sanding it because I'd probablly take off most of the fine details in the wood. Like the checkering. Quoted:
By some paint stripper, it will take the finish right off. I have one stripped right now that I need to apply another dose to get off the small patches of finish. I think I will. Any suggestions on a good one? |

The finish is Remington's "Bowling Pin" epoxy finish.
You'll need a paint stripper that's listed as working on epoxy finishes. You can also buy a stripper from Brownell's, but it's expensive. I'd try a good paint store for a stripper first: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=4984/Product/CERTISTRIP |

Thanks a lot. |
