But that doesn't mean you have to like it. Lots of folks have used Longshot Logan's (R.I.P.) instructions to refinish: http://www.theopenrange.net/articles/ll_uberti_refinishing.pdf Longshot Logan, who I had the pleasure of shooting with, was an artist with wood. If you follow his directions you will get a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levi littleton Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Stripped it with a chemical stripper. That took may be an hour or so. Cut that with steel wool and then applied a couple coats of tung oil. Let it dry between coats and then rubbed it down again with a soft cloth. It too has darken with age. This photos is from a couple of years later. The other three rifles are factory Uberti wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
