tikka3006,
I think you'll be happy with your decision...if you know what you're doing, you can't go wrong with a Superposed...of course I'm rather biased. I'm really not the person to answer your question wrt refinishing a stock but before you get started I'd do some serious research/talk to a good gunsmith with stock refinishing experience. I do know you need to be very careful with the stripper you choose to use and I would avoid any power tools when it comes to this project...nothing works like a fine piece of sandpaper and some sweat...besides you'll enjoy your efforts more. You may want to have it done...if you don't have the experience yourself you'll save youself a lot of heartache, and the end result will likely be better. Good luck!
