I have a old 700 bdl that the plastic finish is flaking off. Would like to refinish it with an oil finish, to get rid of the flashy poly look thats on it. Will a paint stripper take this heavy coating off my stock? As thick as the finish looks, i think id be forever sanding it off! Any thoughts? thanks,mark If the paint stripper will work,than will it eat up the foreend cap and the grip cap? dont know what there made out of. Remington must have just dunked these stocks in a vat or something.
