[QUOTE="Chokoloskee Joe, post: 1653982, member: 110441"] The Remington "bowling pin" finish is a two part epoxy that is very difficult to remove as noted by Lance. The only way to properly and effectively remove it is by sanding it off with a hand sander starting with 120 grit paper being careful to not gouge the wood. As you start to get down to the wood, change over to hand sanding with 220 and 320 paper. I know as I've done several of them. If you think your finish is lacquer, then it is not an original finish as all Remington 700 stocks are either epoxy or oil based finishes. [/QUOTE]
