DIY Hand Rubbed Oil on factory CZ stock
I started one evening sanding off the finish on my CZ 550. Didnt have any paint remover and hardware shops are shut so I bit the bullet and started. So after about 4 hrs of sanding with 220 grit and a block to get the varnish off, I switched to 400 grit for smoothing it off.
Here is what it looked like before I started- kind of uniform brown, not much figure and you can see in the last pic how the pits of unfilled grain show up.
