Paint stripper as there is no stock or blue to worry about.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Whatever you use, don't use Brake Cleaner. A buddy bought a .45 that the previous owner had put in an empty paint can, filled to the brim with Br4ake Cleaner and.............FORGOT ABOUT IT FOR A FEW YEARS :big shock: :big shock:
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
