Remington 1100 Restoration

Here is another gun I restored, the owner wanted it reblued and made pretty again, not back to original, but looking good without the rust.

The shotgun had been in the family for three generations and the current owners brother put a recoil pad on it in bubba fashion, so I fixed that, polished and reblued the steel, nitre blued the pins and charging handle and refinished the stock to match.

I have an 1100 with a dinged up stock that I'd like to refinish for my son. How did you strip the original DuPont finish on your shotgun? Just sanding & patience or is there a stripper that works on the original finish?

(......edited with additional comment.....NEVER MIND, my bad. After posting I noticed your links that explain it all)

And your refinished 1100 looks great!
