gun refinishing?

[aingeal89c]

I have a tendancy to do everything myself. I'm planning on refinishing my nagant, but not sure where to start. Anyone got any ideas?

Spray paint?

Seriously, do you mean the hardware or the bluing?

I mean the wood. that's pretty much all a nagant has on it.

I'm pretty sure those used shellac if you're trying to match the original finish. Very red oil stain topped with shellac.
