Thread: Clean Up your synthetic stock with sandpaper.

There is a thread on the forum about cleaning up plastic/synthetic stocks.
Much advice was given: dishwashing liquid, dynamo laundry detergent, gun oil, and even a blow torch (!).

The trouble with my Remington Mountain Rifle stock was that it didn't just have ingrained mud, but was scratched up from 20+ years of bush bashing.
There's no way soap of any description would be able to clean it up!

So forget the Dynamo.... I needed the Heavy Duty Cleaner.

Enter the Orbital Sander with 320 grit sandpaper.

With all the scratches sanded out it was a 'matte black' colour rather than the original gloss black.
One can leave it like that, add Armour All to give it the gloss look, or spray paint it gloss black again.
