Recently bought a Remington single shot 514 from @LiberTarHeel for a modest amount. Brought it home and fired it and all was good. Decided to clean it up a little and then decided to refinish the stock. Will follow this post with some pictures before and after.
 
Here are some shots of the shape it was in when I got it and truthfully it wasn't bad for one that was made in June of 1960.

The bluing is mostly intact and the stock finish only had a few places in it that needed atention.

This was the worst place on the bluing.

Then came 3 coats of lacquer. Sanding lightly between coats. Shoulda used the spray on kind. After the last coat i buffed it with White Diamond. Then applied a coat of Johnsons Paste Wax.
