I have an old Chinese SKS.. finally got all the cosmoline off the metal parts and cleaned.
My only issue now is that the stock is in really bad shape.. I got most of the Cosmo out, and now just trying to figure out if I should scrub clean and oil or refinish completely. I know I can't get any of the trench art out which is fine, just want it to look and feel clean enough to use and look decent.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I have already tried oil soap and balistol with steel wool and it didn't help much so going to try solvent next, but looking like I may need to refinish completely, which is a bummer because I was trying to keep it as simple as possible.Information
