I am refinishing the stock and forearm on a 1919 20 Ga flues.

I striped off the old finish and have applied whiting a couple times.

The wood appears to be real clean and has no areas that appear dark from oil staining but what I have noticed is that I am still getting some reddish runoff from the stock after using the foaming spray Crud Cutter" cleaner.

I have notice Ithaca stocks appear to have a more reddish tint to them so is it possible this reddish runoff is more stain than oil?

Thanks

Travis
