Hi,
I have an old Gamo/ASI sniper rifle and the varnish or paint is flaking off. What would you advise? Strip it off and repaint or polish it? Ive repolished before but not to a high standard-has anyone refinnished a stock with this paint type stuff on it? Thanks in advance.

WOW
its the same model I have! Unbelievable! Yours looks so much better with the different stock finish-well done sir. Makes one wonder why did Gamo bother with all that brown stuff! What stain did you use?
Thanks for this by the way, I will start her today.

Hi,
stripped the varnish off and applied the first coat of oil. Used wet and dry to remove the rust and remaining blueing, starting to get a decent shine! Now considering leaving it as bare metal instead of spraying it black! Dont want it to look like something the village people would use but all of a sudden it looks respectable again.
