Coat the affected area with K2r spot remover and place in your hot car. Brush off and repeat as necessary.

For removal of the grease used to pack old mitary surplus, I have used cat litter, wrapped the stock in brown paper, and laid it on the dash of a car in the sun. I didn't use cat litter but I used paper towels and stuffed them in the stock next to the oily portion and put it in a black plastic bag. Then set it all out in the sun for a couple of days. I'm sure toilet paper would work as well. But, stuff the paper towels in tight against the oily wood then get it out in the sun. For stocks I didn't care about the finish I put in a hot tube of bathwater and I even did one in the wife's dishwasher. I had to run the dishwasher a second time to get the oil smell out of it but it sure got the stock clean. kwg

You can also try Brownell's whiting compound. Mix it with acetone to the consistency of pancake batter. Maybe a more controlled process if you're worried about the finish. This if you want it done right. If you're interested in quick and don't mind risks try everything mentioned here.

I refinished a couple of stocks before and bought some powder from Brownells for removing oil. I mixed it with methanol to make a paste and spread it on the oily area. I let it sit a day then brushed it off. If I remember I did it 3 times to remove all of the oil.

Get the left over oil out using powdered white chalk. Go to a craft store get a box of white writing chalk and use a large flat bastard file, cut a good pile of chalk dust, Put the end of the stock in a plastic bag, pour the chalk over the top of the effected area, submerged in chalk, put a rubber band around the bag, let the chalk covered wood set, end down for 24 hours. The oil will be aubsorbed, if any is left, set it outside in the sun, in a black plastic bag. Sun is a cheap oven. Or buy the chalk powder from amazon. But the chalk does work.
