Refinishing a Rifle at Home

Thursday June 11, 2009
Home gun refinishing. Sounds promising, doesn't it? It also sounds a little risky.

At the SHOT Show a few months ago, one of the most promising new products I ran across was at Birchwood-Casey's display area - a spray-on gun finish called Perma Fin. Right away I knew two things:
1) I wanted to give this stuff a try, and
2) I had the perfect candidate gun at home.

What could make a better candidate than the old 30-30 Dad had paid peanuts for years ago and then had used to torment me? I think he'd have been proud of these results.
