            BTW, most customers who want grandpa's old gun reblued and the wood refinished spend a lot of money and only devalue their heirloom. I hope that you try to talk customers out of ruining the collector's value of a firearm by refinishing it.

                  Pretty sure my grandfather would take his gun back and shoot me with it if I tried to "fix" it.

                      If you aren't worried about devaluing the gun, my advice would be to have the metal finish done professionally and do the stock yourself. No more than $30 on sand paper, steel wool, some stain, tung oil, a little elbow grease, some time and you will have something that looks nice. Plus you did it yourself.

                      Just my $0.02

                          Sorry, but from reading your post, I wouldn't let you clean my empty brass let alone touch one of my firearms. And if you're willing to butcher an antique by refinishing you don't deserve to be a 'gunsmith'.
