Care to share a pic?I have a Sako A7. The stock got terribly sticky. i used acetone and a Scotchbrite pad (or 2). Was a bit of work but in a couple hours i had it stripped. I then sprayed mine with Ultra Flat Krylon flat black. Then sponge dabbed Ultra Flat Krylon in 3 colors on top of that. Was going to seal it with clear but never did. I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.
