Have two guns I’m looking at refinishing...
First one is my TAC-14. I hate the black oxide finish that came on it. Just rubs off, so rather something a little tougher. I have two shotguns (870 Police and Ithaca 37) that I had redone by Robar in NP3 Plus. Kind of siding with that, but might go something darker.
Second one will be an 870 that I’m probably buying in the next month or two. Looking for either one of those 18” pistol grip only shotguns... with the +2 installed or an old L/E gun (18” preferably, with similar extension). Either would likely be picked up at a gun show, so I might be able to look at a few surplus shotguns to get the best one for my need. I’m looking to toss a Remington factory folding stock on it, just for an extra shotgun (possible truck gun). Figuring either I have the same crappy black oxide finish or an abused 870 Police that I’d want to clean up. Unsure how the factory folder is taken down, but would prefer to have the metal done, as well.
Obviously, NP3 Plus is in the running. But wanted to see a few other options. I wouldn’t mind Parkerizing, as long it is from a shop that does good work. Don’t want a spray-on finish, so no DuraKote. Want something that will hold up somewhat well, and reduce rust as good as possible.
Thanks.
