The shiny finish on my 788 was all nicked up.
I removed the stock and sprayed it with carburetor cleaner, which caused the finish to lift and bubble. I scraped it off with a knife blade and lightly sanded the maple, and rubbed it in with linseed oil.
Turned out really nice too. I think I was out about $10 and a few hours time.
