Hello everyone.
I've followed this website for a long time and gotten some good information off it. Finally made the jump to making an account and would like to contribute some of my own knowledge.
In the meantime, I have started a project on a Remington 7600. I am wanting to refinish the stock but I have a question. The stock has end caps on the grip and the forend. I know everyone refers to them as ebony end caps but I am not sure if these are actually ebony. I believe these are plastic but I am not sure.
1. How can I make sure of the material these are made out of?
2. If these are in fact plastic, what can I do to refinish these? They are very high gloss but have a lot of scrapes and nicks. I know oils probably won't do well with the plastic so can I use something else to achieve that deep dark black gloss?
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
