Ok gents. I'm tinkering with a M98 stock and have the intention of bedding it. What's the best way to clean out all the old oil that's soaked into the wood?

I did my old M70 stock with ocxalic acid...deck clean.

Never thought of that. Thanks mate

One of the reasons that the syn stocks are so versatile is that they are basically impervious to anything that injures wood stocks. Most of mine are syn but I recently gave the nod to a Hatcher walnut because sourcing a 602 brno in syn was impossible,well for me it was.

Oven cleaner works too , as does a heat gun , rags and patience. Or soaking in acetone .....

Thanks Muzza

Stock question in the Australian section I figured would be what type kangaroo should I raise on my ranch?

got a paddock of them mate , no problems finding them here... ;-)

No kangaroos here but we have 80 million pigs. All in prisons.
Cleaning stocks; use TSP; Trisodium Phosphate. And very hot water; soak for 20 minutes; it will pull out all oil and grease and raise dents too.

Apparently brew shops sell this stuff for cleaning brewing gear , and Selleys Sugar Soap is a pretty close relative of TSP.

All of which I wasnt aware of , so I will try this on my next .22 stock that needs a refurbish.
