Like I mentioned and this trick for Varnish or Shellac Removal was told to me by a Very well known Collector who has used Brake Cleaner on many Stocks and He has cleaned a Number of Stocks for me with this method and Three of them Happened to be Late War HT`s and if for any reason I was to think it would have damaged my Stocks it never would have nor would he have used this method . I will say one thing about this method , If the Varnish or Shellac is Very thick than it is better to do by some other process . same person also told this too me as well . So to each his own . Best Regards

I have used denatured alcohol as well, as it also does not damage the glue in the lamination. I had a russian capture once that was classic red shellac, and after using denatured alcohol, I found 3 waffenamts on the stock !
