Bullet-point stock dents

[meterman]

I remember the instructors on the range telling us in no uncertain terms to not do that..use the steel buttplate, instead.

I agree with joem. Took me a long time to figure out the less I did to the stock, the more original it is and the more I like it. Have a Dane with bullet indents and left it alone. Glad I did.
I did.

Good for you. I'v had people at the range ask why I haven't removed those. It's part of history and I would not remove them, ever.

I agree, I'd leave them also. As to removing dents, I've used the dishwater method that was recommended here some time ago. Seemed to work OK but best done when other family members are not around. I've also read that Bob Seijas used a strong granulated soap (don't recollect the name) and soaking the stock in the bath tub with good results.

Boy I got a nice IHC from S America the but stock had these all over. You can clean a stock re oil to look orginal even with sanding , but you need to be careful sanding a stock.
