oil soaked stock
After stripping the stock I apply Easy Off oven cleaner let it soak in and after two hours scrub with hot water & dish detergent let dry,I used Brownells oil remover but like the Easy Off. J.J.

Jim, Easy Off may have no side affects that damages the wood, I don't know, but I'm confident that heating the wood thus opening the pores removes more oil with less potential damage than chemical solvents. Just my view, Craig.

I learned this trick from George Flaim many years ago, But I also wanted to open the pores so I could re shellac the Parker colors back into the wood.(a Filler) you should only use flake shellac, the orange was what George found out from an old Parker employee many years ago. You can fill the pores with the orange shellac after the pores have been opened to change the color back to what Parker used as a filler, and as a stain. I think we old timers that remember George will recall his stocks were hard to tell from the original Parker colors.

The wood was completely refinished and the checkering recut. Kip Wood at Central Michigan Gunsmithing did the work. He has done work for others here. Send me a PM and I'll give you his phone number.
