need to remove varnish?

**clong1979** · 01-31-2013 03:58 PM

Picked up a Remington 1903A3, all the metal looks original and excellant all Remington marked parts, the stock looks amazing other than the original owner varnished? it. Any advice on how to remove this without sanding off inspection stamps. It matches the finish on may kitchen table well, just that is not what I want.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Lacquer thinner. It is not overly aggressive and will leave any color to the wood. Many chemical strippers will clean everything off the wood. Use a toothbrush to clean the varnish out of any stampings.
