Thanks. I have a superposed that I have dissassembled before, but from what I understand taking the stock off a parker is a little more involved.

Not too complicated. A second set of hands helps and prevents chips and scratching of the wood but it can be done alone. Brian Dudley has placed excellent directions with photos on this site.

Actually it wasn't that difficult. A lot simpler then most of the revolvers/semi auto pistols I have disassembled. I found a bottle of murphy's oil soap concentrate. I am guessing I need to delut it and then just wipe it on and off like I am applying orange oil? Or do I need to actually rub on the wood with the rag to get the grime off?

Lots of oil will just bubble out when moderate heat is applied via a hair dryer. Try this before cleaning in my opinion.

Yup, heat the oil out of the stock and then worry about the surface. Taking the stock off the action is an accident waiting to happen for most Parker owners.

Will try the hair dryer. Taking the stock off was pretty simple following the instructions on this site.

Used the wife's hair dryer for a bit this morning. It was impressive how the oil was coming up. Not certain it made much difference to the look of the wood though.

I ran out of time as I only did it about 30 minutes before heading to work, but less oil seemed to be coming up when I finished. Will I need to actually refinish the stock to really make a difference on the dark wood, or does it just take a long time with the blow dryer to get it to all come up?

I am not at this point interested in redoing the stock completely as it is in fairly good shape, just want to get the oil out and try to bring back some of the color to the wood.

well went to the skeet range at lunch today. She went boom perfectly, my aim not so much.

I think I hit 15, which isn't terrible for my first time with a sxs on the skeet range. 20 is a decent round for me and 23 is my best ever so for how rarely I shoot it now days, I can live with that for the first time. If I would just remember the auto safety it would go a lot quicker.

My go-to gun for upland hunting is a 32" VHE. I like the way longer bbls move.
Good luck with yours!
