Alan, you have heard many views on your gun and I support Edgars view especially if the current finish displeases you. Deans solution has merit but since alcohol is a solvent for shellac it has risk too that I would try to avoid. If I OWNED your gun, I would start at the butt end of the stock with 600 wet/dry sandpaper and boiled linseed oil and ascertain my results. If satisfactory I would continue, if not I might try Deans method. If that failed Edgars method would be employed.
