Czech Vz24 Mauser_AIM Surplus - Refinish Stock/Hand Guard?

[onlycrimson]

Try a finish stripper first to see what else can come off. There is a good foaming one that I like to use. In my experience, it is difficult to match the colors because the wood already has deep coloring that is very hard to get out.

Well here is my concoction and it works great not only for milsurp stocks but vintage wood furniture >You will have to get 0000 steel wool pads for this proceedure > 3oz gum turpentine, 3oz boiled linseed oil, 2oz denatured alcohol, 2oz white vinegar. i use a 16oz plasric soda bottle to pour this magic elixer into; then shake well until your sure the liquids are thouroughly mixed. now saturate a steel wool pad and start to scrub using medium pressure and watch the years of funk come out of the fine milsurp stock, after your sure you didn't miss any spots wipe off with a wet rag of denatured alcohol, when dry do it again, let dry overnight and then wipe stock down with boiled linseed oil. This has worked for me over the years . Plus it smells good while your doing it...
