William,
I have never used acetone on any gun stocks. In my past experiences with acetone I would say it would cut through the finish that is already there. My hammer gun, that I just purchased a dew months ago, I used mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool. Did not seem to destroy what finish was left on the stock. The mixture I mentioned before is very easy to use. tape off the checkering and wipe it on with a soft cloth. It dries almost instantly. The more you put on, the newer the stock looks. Meaning a deeper looking finish. I tried to keep mine from not looking too new since the rest of the gun is all original. I will put the mixing instructions for you if you would like to try it.
As for care, the lemon oil mentioned earlier in the thread is a good choice. I just use a Remington cloth and that seems to work well. Take care.

Tom
