I wouldn't use any kind of solvent on a nice gun until I had removed the wood. That stuff will make pretty short work of any original finish remaining on the wood.

Dean is right. Get the wood off, then spray your heart out. I use carb cleaner all the time. If you want a step up, use auto choke cleaner.
Best, Kensal |

Roger on getting the wood off first. Then I use lacquer thinner. For the screw slots use round tooth picks, LOTS OF THEM. When they break, get another. If it takes 10 to clean a single slot, use 10. They also work very well on the rib/bbl junction. Just plow the old oil sludge out with a broken one. They're the best and will never mar the finish like a sharp dental pick will.... trust me on that one... When I really need something clean, such as before I put loctite on a scope mount screw, I use a starter fluid soaked Qtip to clean the screw and the hole of oil.
