It does for sure.

A classic way to desiccate oil from a stock is to suspend the bad areas over light bulbs a few days. wink

Used a heat gun on low a few times before dunking in acetone. Warn it up until it starts weeping and wipe with paper towels. The acetone works pretty good, I drill for the dowels first then use one to push the solvent through the crack helping to get the old oil out. Trick is drilling the hole along the crack. I have a 12 in 1/8 bit to reach the bottom of the action mortise. Repaired several Browning A5's and a Savage 720 the same way. Sometimes I'll use a bamboo skewer instead of dowel.
