Stripping the hard parts
 

In the past I have stripped antique furniture and as with a gun stock some areas can be tough to get into & get the old material out of. A product that I found that works really well is a spray paint remover from NAPA Auto Parts. I spray it on, let it set & use the appropriate item to remove the old finish. Old toothbrushes work well for this.

Thanks for the tip.

yeah, thanks for the tip, I'll have to give it a try sometime.
