Tips Needed For Removing Dents

[RCS]

If you read Rick borecky's Wisconsin Barn Wood Story on the top of the M1 Rifle forum, some of these early stocks were M1 carbine, most that I saw were
hi wood too. While buying early M1 rifle stocks, I saw a carbine stock on the ground in nice condition and bought that too. It was a I.P. stock, and when
I unpacked it, I tried it on a carbine. It would not fit because the front end was warped. My friend Charlie Redfield (NJ) told me to get a wallpaper tray
which is really a small trough, fill it with water and place the carbine stock inside with a brick on top. Leave it for three or four days then take it out. It worked,
after the stock dried, I used BLO and it fit on a carbine barrel & action without any trouble.

For dents I use the hot iron and wet paper towels, takes forever and sometimes not worth the time
