Whiting and acetone works but is slow. Here's another that is much faster but more expensive. It is quite popular with the double shotgun hobbyists. The problem might be finding a tank big enough for a regular rifle stock. Get a disposable aluminum roaster pan at the supermarket that is...

The Chargemaster wall wart supply supplies about 12.7 V when the unit is on but not dispensing. When the dispenser runs, the voltage drops to about 11.8V. This means that the internal circuitry is always exposed to at least 11.8 volts. Consequently, a standard 12V gel cell does not stress...
