Thanks for everyone's input, I decided to remove the oil myself and see how the stock looks and decide the next move when that's done. A couple more small cracks have shown up and A LOT of oil has come out. The cracks are small and not very deep. There was no finish left on it.
I started by cleaning it with dawn and Murphy's then soaked it for a day in 1 1/2 gallons of acetone. I removed it, brushed the checkering with a tooth brush ans went over stock with a nylon scrubby. A lot of grime came off.
I have kept it soaking except for when I remove it and use a heat gun to raise the oil, today I put it in the oven for an hour at 100+ degrees and MORE oil came out. I need to change the acetone now as it's getting very discolored. I have also been wiping it down with denatured alcohol when I take it out of the soak tank.
Let me know how i'm doing, any advice is appreciated. I'm doing as minimal as I can so I don't do any irreversible damage. Here's some pics.
John
