Hello everyone,
I have been wanting to bed the stock of my Mosin 91/30 for some time. I want to keep it as original as possible, so maybe I will order an old take-off stock and use that one, but that's another question.
Problem is, these old stocks aren't exactly clean. So before I can even start thinking about putting any bedding compound in my stock, It needs a clean and dry surface to adhere to. Therefore I need to clean it up first. The inside of this thing is filled with traces of old oil, Cosmoline and likely a lot of Balistol that I use for cleaning my rifle.
So, my question is, how do I get rid of all the gunk that is soaked up in the stock?
Thanks for any input, Louis
