Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has had the pleasure of refinishing a Mosin Nagant stock. I am trying to refinish a 1942 Mosin Nagant M91/30. I have done the oven cleaner routine and got most of the finish and oil off the stock. Due to the water bath after the oven cleaner the grain stood tall and proud, I am now in the process of sanding it all down. I had an occasion to smell the stock and it still has a slight motor oil smell to it. I happen to put the put the stock over a heater vent, and sure enough oil came to the surface. I was wondering if any of you know a way to get the remaining oil out that does not entail water. I would be grateful for your input.
