Refinished the old 500
« on: April 03, 2009, 10:49:21 AM »
I was surprised at the wood under all that God awful factory stain. The stock is a factory replacement that is about 15 years old and the forearm is the original to the gun. It's 30+ years old. It was mine, but my youngest son relieved me of it about 8 years ago.













It sure made the old girl look a lot better! I can't seem to get the pictures to do the wood justice though.

It looks good.  I have refinished 5 guns recently and the pictures never look as good as the actual gun.  Yours show a nicely refinished stock.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The stock is at the local smith now having a grind to fit Limbsaver recoil pad put on it. My son used it dove hunt this year for the first time. He said the original pad was like using concrete.

Yep, my Mossberg's recoil pad is hard as a rock too.
