Varnish/Stain Removal from Parkerized Receiver??

Careful with acetone on the plastic handguard. It could discolor or even melt it so test a small section under the handguard.

My first choice on plastics would be ethanol. But even than you should test a discrete spot.

Noted, thanks for the advice.

My next day off I will have to figure out how to pop that handguard off...

Remove barreled action from stock.
Remove gas plug.
Remove gas cylinder.
Slide handguard forward. Ears of rear handguard clip slide into two slots on barrel.

Sounds easy but it will probably take me 10 minutes due to not having done it before haha

Use a PLASTIC mallet to tap the gas cylinder forward/off!!!!! It's a bit tricky with the op-rod still installed.
