For the finish I always used the product below knocked down with rottenstone.

NEVER USE SANDPAPER!!!!!!!!


America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

On dents, if you’re not in a hurry and after the finish is removed, just put a wet cotton ball on it and leave it overnight.

Similar

Brownells Certistrip (a few times, no longer avail)
Lacquer thinner
Acetone

for finish I use Velvit oil (also no longer avail) so I guess I'm no help

Similar for me:
Step 1 Citristrip
Step 2 Acetone
Step 3 sand paper.


For dings, instead of dishwasher, I use a damp cloth and hot iron.

on scratches and dents, i use a clothing iron. i use 320 and 400 grit sandpaper, then i will wood filler and then sand it again. after i done with that, i'll use a cheesecloth on the stock to take off dust and stuff.

wood filler

use Minwax Antique Oil, i use 4 -7 coats.




then use 2 or 3 coats of Minwax Polyurethane oil with mineral spirits (3:1) or Minwax Wipe-on Poly. i use a shop rag (cloth type) to put it on. i use the poly oil/mineral spirits because it is cheaper to buy than Wipe-on, which is poly oil and mineral spirits.

Like one of the Campfire’s favorite posters (Dwayne) would say, “There are many roads that lead to Mecca…”. In the case of refinishing gun stocks there most definitely are many roads to Mecca. 😉
