If the head of the stock is oil soaked (black with oil), heat from a hair dryer (or heat gun held far away) will cause the oil to come to the surface where it can be wiped off repeatedly. Don't get it too hot, but I was amazed at the amount that will migrate out of the wood. Of course the only way to get at all of it is with the stock off the receiver. And at that point it may be so much you will want to soak it out.
