A co-worker of mine bought an 1100 from a guy for $25....Well the firearm was laying in a soft case in a basement for 10 years. I traced the serial nember and it was manufactured in 1998. My problem is that he wants it refinished but all the finish on the left side of the reciever is gone. I am not sure what the finish is or the type of metal it is. I dont think I could blend it good with duracoat. The barrel is accually in good shape, Its hard to believe it was caused by rust, almost like some kind of chemical because the wood has no water damage. Anyone have any suggestions of how I can remove the finish? the receiver isnt pitted or rusted. Its almost like acid or some other harsh chemical ate it off the one side. I want to avoid anything abrasive because of the engraving.
