Remo, SASS #17644 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 You will find it in the Brownell catalog.... there are actually several listed and the description will help you with your choice. I have used the red stain w/ filler and got good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Brady #24830Life Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Go to Brownells and get 'French Red' stain and filler. Been around over 100 years. I have used it on Uberti rifles and on pistol grips after taking off that nasty orange varnish they use with Citrustrip. Works great; just follow the directions. I finish with a coat of old-fashioned Johnson's Paste Wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
