I would sand it with fine sand paper first...ive started doing firearms coatings for some of my friends and my personal stuff...I believe you may run into the wood soaking up some of the solvents you may use to strip the paint...you'll have to re-coat receiver/barrel...I would look around on gunbroker possibly for a used un painted stock...Ive used some very fine sand in my blasting cabinet on wood but you have to be very careful not to take off too much material...there are company's that make firearms strippers you may want to look into that also

I think I handle the stock. The metal parts though are out of my area of expertise if I even have any lol. I need to take down the grip part a LITTLE bit anyway. It's a little wide for me and my wife's hands. Probably going to wind up giving it to my dad for his birthday if not Father's Day next year.

break it down before you strip it, then no worries about messing up any finishes

Try brake cleaner on the metal. Spray it on let it sit then spay it again wipe with a rag and spray again. Once it's all clean wash it real well in HOT water then spray down with gun Rem oil wipe off excess oil with a clean rag.

I'll probably bring it by coastal gun works to get some prices from them and try and professionally install the sights and do a little polishing

id send all the metal to birdsong industries and have it Black-T'd. they strip it, put on the coating and you'll never worry about rust or gun oil again. would turn out awesome.
