Restoration Help Please

[Paul Mazan]

Thank you once again Gentlemen. I bought the gun for $300 as a project to learn about the Parker and how it works. There is nothing like getting inside a gun that has little value to learn on. So I could always part it out later on if nothing else. I had no illusions when I bought it so I can't say I'm disappointed just facing a challenge. I've started deoiling the stock and am curious what method you used to remove oil that has soaked into the wood. The wood seems pretty solid, at least as I'm scrubbuing it with a stiff brush nothing is breaking away or falling off. It is simply knowing when to stop deoiling. So far most of it looks pretty good but there is still oil in the wood right behind the receiver.
