I searched the forum with no success on this issue: how to remove the factory plastic/whatever finish from Remington stocks without sanding. I bought the gun online for my daughter and the buttstock is in excellent condition but very plain and an obvious replacement. I am in the process of buying a used stock in good condition but with the usual few small dings and light scratches (no gouges or dents) that I would like to refinish to look as nice as the forend but I don't want to ruin it in the attempt. I would rather keep it as is than wind up looking for another replacement. Is there a finish remover or other solvent that will get it off or soften it without damaging the wood? Some recommendations I have seen include scraping it off with sharpened flexible hack saw blades (not the toothed side), using broken glass, etc. Wenig's would be a great way to go, but I'm still paying for her schooling...
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
