To start with I use Vinegar and cotton balls, this will let you see if there are any hidden cracks, and it is a neutral cleaner. If the oil is too deep, you will have to remove the stock I recommend you use oxolic acid to remove the oil. I have no idea where the oil goes, but the Oxolic acid seems to make it dissapear. Use hot water in this process, as hot as you can stand. Then soak the entire stock and set it in the sun for several hours. it will be a little fuzzy, then with a light sandpaper remove the fuzz. When you refinish I recommend you use orange shellac, just like Parker did to fill the pours, then you can use a oil finish I recommend" timberlux" you can buy it on line, or a good varnish mattering on the finish you desire. If you have never taken a Parker gunstock off a gun, take it to a pro that understands how to do this. Good luck!
