My pre-war 37R is a 12 gauge.
The refinish was to be cold rust because of fear that a hot blue could hurt the rib.
I will ask about polishing the receiver.
The stock will have a high comb and it is being sent to me semi-finished so I can have it fitted to me for trap before the final finish is put on. Pad will be taped on because I may want to trim the stock or add a spacer. Final finish on the stock will be matte based on my preference.
It may not turn out to be the best gun for competition, but nobody will have more fun breaking clays with their gun than I will have breaking clays with mine!
I have heard that some are really down on refinishing classic guns. Personally, as long as real history is not being lost, I see nothing wrong in giving a classic gun a "new coat of paint" every half century or so.
