removing lacquer and oiling my cz .243 stock

[davobob 0]

Im thinking that I may have a go at removing the lacquer staining a bit darker and oiling the stock on my CZ .243. Has anyone done this before and was it a simple process?I dont want to end up spoiling a good stock just to make it look a bit nicer. What products do I need? I have seen in the Bushwear catalogue a complete gunstock kit at £55,should I get this or is there a cheaper way of doing it?

Has anyone got any pics of stocks that they have restored?

thanks

I did it a while ago with the stock on my air rifle, I used Nitromoors, a chemical paint stripper, just follow the instructions on the can and you'll do fine, you may want some fine grade sand paper & wire wool to get the laquer out of the crevices, and a stiff nylon brush for the quequering- it's especially hard to get it out of here, then I'd byt a bottle of sealer, stain and stock oil from CCL, I just used straight boiled linseed oil, I was younger and I didn't have anything else, but it worked pretty well. no pic as yet, but I could see and post one up.

as the other poster said nitromoors works well on the chekering you can brush in the nitro give it a moment to work and then use a tooth brush to get the varnish out,,,,give the stock a good rince after and then you can check for any fibre lifting and flat sand as said seal the wood after and get going on the oiling up use good oil though get at least 5 coats on then start to polish with lint free cloth if it wants more oil repeat process until you get it as deep as you want.
