Bill, when you have to remove oil from a stock it almost always means refinishing the wood. I do most of my own restoration work and have been at it for 45 years. If you chose to remove oil via the oven start at 150 and bring the temp. up slowly as needed. The goal here is to evaporate the oil not add patina to the wood. When the wood appears completely dry ( no wet residue ), you've gone as far as you can go. Murphys Soap is good for cleaning wood if you are going to refinish the wood. If you want to preserve the original finish and just remove dirt and Pledge then I believe you will find Woollite much more benign to your stock and forend. For best results, patience is encouraged and a wife who will share the oven with you. Craig
