    TRy this mixture to clean up your stock. It works like a charm. I mix it in a spray bottle to make it easier to apply. This is takenj from Tom's 1/3 mix site.

    Typically, you can put this mixture in a 20 oz. water bottle, some disfiguring of the bottle will
    occur, but it should be good for quite some time.

    4 ounces of De-natured Alcohol
    4 ounces of Turpentine
    4 ounces of Raw linseed oilicon (I never tried BLOicon)
    and 1 ounce of Ammonia

    When using it on the stock, scrub with steel wool or possibly a green scratchy. How dirty the stock is, will determine how many times you have to use it. Typically, for a M1icon Garrand Stock from Korea - you know the really grungy ones, it will take 2 or 3 "treatments". Wipe the stock with a disposable rag with Mineral Spirits in between applications. Also, let the stock set for a day between treatments - you are using Linseed Oil here.
    Due to the Linseed Oil, your stock is pretty much "Finished" when you're done cleaning it.

    Guys, just to make it clear, I was kidding about messing around with the stock. All I'm going to do is put raw linseed oilicon on it.

    I'd leave it alone, too. Good looking rifle.

    I believe I would clean it up and at least get the grease pencil off. That would be a beauty after is cleaned up a little. That's the beauty though......to each is own.

    Nice rifle.

    Regarding cleaning the stock, I've had really good luck using "Pledge" furniture-cleaning wipes to get the surface dust/grime/gunk off of a number of stocks.

    Mild stuff, they do a good job de-grunging 60+ years of dust and grime and haven't affected the overall patina. After using, I go over the stock with one of those silicone-impregnated gun-cleaning cloths and call it good.

    Nice score on the transitional carbine! I cleaned mine with just warm BLOicon/mineral spirits first time to cut surface grime, then used just warm BLOicon for several more coats, rubbing with lint free cloth in between.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Someone on another forum said my extractor looked worn out, but that's because I took the pictures without cleaning the parts first. The close-up pictures make it easy to see crud. I cleaned off the crud and the extractor looks much better.



    People on other forums have commented about the Type 2 band, since some carbines in this range have Type 3 bands. This carbine was made during the transition from the Type 2 to the Type 3 band. The Carbine Club had Inland Carbines of the Month with slightly lower (6.27 million) and slightly higher (6.37 million) that also have Type 2 bands. But the Type 3 bands were starting to be used around the same time.
