[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1134505, member: 90399"] Hey Matt, I thought about and researched a lot about your statement above before I did anything. I believe it to be 99% Internet rumor. Or maybe I should say it is theory based rumor... I could not find anywhere that someone actually posted proof of damaged caused from oven cleaner. And many people were asking for proof. However I agree with you warning people that they should be cautious. Me personally, I would not employ my same methods on a Garand or original 1903. But truthfully I wouldn't do anything at all to any mil-surp that I was holding onto for it's value. I realize that the dark spots are embedded oil (probably cosmoline) in the wood. I'm ok with that. I was joking with one of my friends and we both agreed that the dark spots makes it look better. Gives it some character and depth. :) I did heat the stock and got a good amount of cosmoline out before I tried to bleach it. I feel it will look just like it does now for a long time. Hopefully I'm right! [/QUOTE]
