PJS Precision Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hi, Anyone got any tips for removing lacquer or varnish off a rifle stock, it's a CZ premium 22 rimfire and it was a nice stock so hopefully I can restore it to it's former glory.

Ballistol Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just done this myself on a CZ rimfire. Cheap chemical varnish stripper from B&Q did the trick, but took three coats to fully remove the factory varnish/lacquer. Finished it off with Birchwood Casey Tru Oil. Don't forget the 00 gauge wire wool for a lovely finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nitromores works well, just follow the instructions and wear gloves! It will open the grain a bit on the wood, use a specific filler (thus: https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Wood-Finishing/Gun-Stock-Clear-Sealer-Filler.aspx ) and you can burnish with a bit of rib bone. Stain using any of the Birchwood Casey products https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Wood-Finishing/Walnut-Wood-Stain.aspx then True Oil and wire wool, https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Wood-Finishing/Tru-Oil®-Stock-Finish.aspx or buy the whole kit and be done : https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Wood-Finishing/Tru-Oil®-Gun-Stock-Finish-Kit.aspx T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
