Hello Campfire Crew!

I have been looking into refinishing a couple of CZ stocks over the past couple months. I have multiple that appear to be hiding some decently figured walnut underneath the thick factory finish.

Through research, I have found and heard of quite a few chemicals and processes that can be used to remove the old, original finish on a stock. I have heard everything from lacquer thinner and tube socks to gel'd methylene chloride.

As I continue down this process, I am hoping for some guidance and to read some feedback from y'all on what has worked for you and what has not. While I am not new to woodworking, I am certainly new to the idea of refinishing some rifles stocks.

With that said - how would you go about removing the old finish and stain?

I appreciate any advice and guidance you can provide!

Cheers!
