What FatAlbert said. The part about pay someone lol.

Aircraft stripper is the strongest stuff I know of. It comes out like a gel and is VERY potent. Use outside with a respirator and some very thick rubber gloves. If it wont take it off, you might be down to a sand blaster.

you can get citri strip at home depot, its safe to use and smells like oranges

Citri-strip will not work, I've had this same problem with a 74 I got in a trade and just sent it to a builder I know for a media blast and refinish. I didn't have all the extra time to deal with it anymore and just wanted it done right.

Goof off different than Goo gone.

 

[optimumdetails]

Media blast. Nothing else is touching legit LineX or Rhino. If it is cheap can liner you might get it with Aircraft but you are fighting a battle that will be hard to win. Good luck though

Try soaking just the topcover or other small part in acetone as fatalbert suggested. I would just do a small part to see what results you get before trying to strip the whole thing. If that works then do the rest. Follow Fats instructions above for prep. I've painted several rifles using that method except I'm cheap and just use appliance epoxy instead of cerakote. If your anal about the prep you can get very good results. Here is a Saiga I converted and painted recently with that method.
