Doug, I'm converting an Enfield No 4 to a No 5 configuration...The wood [walnut] is quite oil impregnated, and the forward part of the fore end is sanded down below the oil impregnation...How can I get the rest of the stock free of oil??? You mention bleaching...What kind, how, and how long???

Thank You!
