Which brings up a question for you, Art.

I have a custom rifle that was built in the late 50's and has, what I believe is, a BLO finish. I accidently got some Wipe Out bore cleaner on it and it instantly removed the finish in that spot.

How much trouble is it going to be to refinish the entire stock with something more durable?
