Quoted: I took it apart today and bead blasted the whole thing except the action. Even the wood(it had years of black paint on it). I painted all the metal with Alumihide ll and used Birchwood Casey Tru-oil on the stock. Its shaping up quite nice. A few more coats of Tru-oil and I'll put her back together. Its gonna come out fine I think.

Sounds like fun. I've got an old Savage/Stevens pump that's waiting for me to get the same treatment whenever I get the time/$$$ (gun was given to me free, missing parts though). I'm either going to go with the Brownells Baking Lacquer or the GunKote, though the Mark Lee Express Blue or Brown sound good also, just more work.
I've used Kramer's on wood stocks before & they turned out alright. I had to power-wire brush the stock on one of my other Savage shotguns, the factory finish was this awful caramel colored paint
. After some sanding, a slight application of the propane torch (fake tigerstriped maple), stain & Kramer's she's 100% better looking.
"Corrections issue"? Does it have the long 8 shot mag or the standard length?
