Luckily the finish looks like stained shellac which should come off easy.
Im done working on it today, my shoulders and neck are stiffer than... well, lets just leave it at that. Polishing out a barrel is hard work.

320 grit then buffed with 00 steel wool. This is not finished, I still have to go through and do some detail polishing around the front sight, nipples, etc.

Im not huge on the polished steel idea after doing this. If anything, I will either leave the hammers in polished steel or the lock plates.
Once the barrel is polished out, I'll move onto the stock and strip it down and get to sanding.
