I don't think the Steven's SxS's hold much if any collectors value. They were inexpensive work guns that still serve their owners well. I plan on refinishing the stock on my old 311A one of these days. I have used it for everything from dove to deer and it gets the job done.
Just pull the stock, remove the old finish with a stripper if needed, but do not use water, sand in fine and progressively finer grits using a block to avoid wrecking the fit. I prefer tung oil, lots of coats of apply, let dry a half hour, wipe off, repeat. Gives a deep satin finish when you put on enough coats, but there's an infinite number of finishes you can use .
Yep, I know this double-gun has nothing in the way of collector value. I just thought it would be a neat project. That and I'm starting to get cabin fever with how the weather has been.
Thanks all for the info.
