it is a type of epoxy. i have tried every stripper under the sun and most under the moon. i finally had to just sand it down to raw wood. doing that you run a great risk of damaging it. mine faired well as it was already rough.

thanks aj. you can't shoot a 45, 44-40, 44 magnum or 41 magnum out of a 410. don't do it unless you are wanting to chance losing something. there are 45's that will shoot 410's that is an animal of a different color. if you want to shoot a slug out of a 410, buy a 410 shell with a slug.
