Thanks for all the help!

Sinking money into a replacement stock would be financial suicide. Maybe look around for a used stock and have it fitted. Also, I would never put the parts in any water. I usually use a Dremmel tool with a bronze wire wheel at low speed to get junk out of an action, once the floor plate and easily accessible parts are disassembled. Also, no steel wool. Frontier 45 pad for cleaning anything metal on the outside.

Yup, that stock is junk...

Regarding cleaning, my go-to method is to use a sonic cleaning tank with the correct solvent (one that will not ignite) and let it sit in it for at least 6 hours. More iterations may be necessary but this is the method I use for cruddy internals. I use Big45 Frontier pads externally.

Thank you!

I will clean up an action like Dean, ultrasonic cleaner. Run it for hours, it won’t hurt anything. I use a 60/40 mix of Simple Green (60) and water (40). Afterwards I’ll carefully use compressed air to blow it off, then I’ll place it in a parts dryer (looks like a food dehydrator).
