Those of you that have them, did you remove any paint from yours? I'd kind of like to have mine back at the factory mcmillan finish

Acetone. Rag. Wipe, don't soak.
Also, just know that rarely would you see an M40A1 in the original finish. They got painted as soon as they got to the unit.

My M40A3 return stock retains its paint job, I like it that way. Here's 11 return stocks, most of which are painted. Mine is #4.

Re: M40A1 take-off stocks
Mine is clean now, but will get kryloned as soon as it returns.

Well... I guess I might as well just let it wear off naturally... tried acetone before and got nowhere.

Maybe laquer thinner?
Sell me the return, I'll buy you a very nice and clean new McMillan in return.

Re: M40A1 take-off stocks
I have one and wanted to see what was underneath, weather it be a smear or woodland...mine is a woodland. I used MEK and a rag to get of the paint and I now wished that I had left it alone.

Acetone is what we used to strip them before repainting. It works. It just may take a little more rubbing.
