Just got a new 114 SS American Classic. This stock has a matte finish, not the high-gloss finish as seen on the blued A.C. models.

The wood grain on this stock is very nice, with a good but of feathering and such on the buttstock. So i was thinking of making it a high-gloss finish but am unsure of which way to go.

Heres my question:

Can I just add more clear to the existing factory(and if so, what do you recommend), or do I have to sand the original finish off and re-do it completely?
