My only addition to the advice above would be to wait for a time after removing the wood from the acetone soak. The acetone will often remove all moisture from the wood to the extent that it shrinks and leaves grip caps, buttplates, etc. standing proud of the wood. A couple months of resting in the open will see the wood reabsorb moisture from the air and the wood will return to a more normal size.
I made the mistake of refitting these parts on a Remington 1889, that I acetone soaked once, only to find the wood regained the lost moisture and returned to the "before soak size" a few months later.
