I have a Remington 511 I got from my dad which I love. He took great care of it so it's in excellent shape. We never shot it much when I was young, but I got it when he died and I love it. It's had more put through it in the last 5 years than it did in the previous 30 years. And now I'm an instructor for the Boy Scouts - so it's seeing use there as well.
The stock is accumulating general dirt and I think it's time to do a lite cleaning of the wood. I'm not talking refinishing by any stretch - just cleaning.
A couple of questions:
* I'm thinking Murphy's Oil Soap. I read in another gun forum of good success with this. Any recommendations or anti-recommendations?
* Would it be best to remove the stock or just leave it in place? At first, with whatever method I used to clean it, I figured I'd just dampen a rag to prevent moisture getting down between the stock and barrel - and I'm confident I can do that. I'm just wondering if it would be better to remove the stock and do it well.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
