    Stripping!

    No I am not considering a new line of work, I'm talking about stripping this glossy crap off the M14 stock I got in my CMP M14 kit. It looks like this stock is a slim birch stock with some nice figure. I'd like to save it if I can. I've already tried doing the paste-type stripper and got some off, but not all. I hit what was left with some 180 grit sandpaper to try to break it up some and was planning on doing the stripper thing again tomorrow.

    Anyone have any tips?

    Leave the stripper on longer, then try rubbing stock with green Scotchbrite pads. Should be finish free
