stripping a stock and re-colouring

[jenksi87 3]

can anybody advise me on the best way to strip a stock and then re-colour it? what would be best to use to strip it? would i be better off staining it, varnishing it? can you use beeswax?

i'm not a very wood orientated person, so i dont even know where to start lol

cheers

A freind of myn did the work on my s300 he wet flated it down to take the old crap finish off it. you will loose any checkering tho. primed wet flated a bunch more times the spraed it black for me. took him best part of a week to keep sanding and primeing to get the desierd finish.

dont know if any of this will help.
