    There are scuff marks on the stock of my French 75 side by side and I want to know what is the finish on them usually so I can touch it up! Or any other method of getting rid of the scuffs without refurbishing the whole thing would be muchly appreciated! Thanks

    I've never heard coconut oil being used but if you're happy with it, why not?

    Can we see some pics anyway

    You need more posts that's why you can attach pictures. Can't remember if it's 25 or 50

    Site rules have changed to encourage more posts with pictures. So it's now 5 posts. If you cannot see the image icon, or anyone, then contact me and i'll ask the admins to look at it.
