Synthetic SKS stock

Ragnar · Jan 24, 2020

I got a good deal on a Chinese SKS with a broken wood stock. I got this surplus fiberglass stock to replace the broken one. It's covered in cosmoline, of course. Can I use an organic solvent like mineral spirits on the synthetic fiberglass stock?

You should be able to. However, I’d use a very small amount on an unobtrusive spot on the inside of the stock first. Let it sit for awhile and check to see if it softened the plastic. Mineral spirits usually don’t attack plastics.

Good old fashioned soap and hot water is better on cosmoline. With the synthetic stock there is no wood for the oil to ruin. Oven cleaner is even better, but may be a little harsh on the Fiberglas resin.

Thanks. I'll try both.
