Guys, I came into a mid-1960s Remington 11-48 .410 in need of TLC. The stock has the pressed checkering and Dupont bowling pin finish of the era, and I'd like to refinish with Tru-oil or some other mellower finish. Is there any particular stripper or method that works best on these Remington finishes?

The best strippers for polyurethane usually have a mixture of methylene chloride and acetone.
One of those products was called Stripease. I have stripped 3 Remington stocks with it.

Definitely nasty stuff to be used in a breeze outdoors. Once finished toss your old clothes.

Methylene cloride is a carcinogen and may no longer be available.

MEK and acetone are good solvents but they do not work well alone on polyurethane.

I was perusing the Brownell's catalog. They recommend and sell Certistrip and say it will remove Remington and Browning finishes. Page 433 of Cat. No. 65, $23/qt.
