Re: New (to me) Sterlingworth 12ga

Hi Stevie; I can't figure out how to do a PM on here so a reply this way is the best I can do. I used Jasco paint remover to strip the old finish, I also did not take off any wood except the forearm piece. The jasco did not hurt any metal as I was careful.

New (to me) Sterlingworth 12ga

Hi; New to forum and a new Fox Sterlingworth owner, the gun was in a very aged condition from use. I was going to leave it alone and then decided to refinish the very dirty condition of the wood.
