I purchased a 1917 rifle that someone began to sporterize to look like a Mannlicher full stock. They put bedding compound the full length of the stock, and some is outside the stock onto the edges. I have been hand sanding with a block like crazy, but it seems like I'm not making a lot of progress. I even thought about using a palm sander. Either way, I am concerned about removing too much wood. Does anyone have any advice on removing the bedding?
