Quoted: Building wife's rifle. There is a crappy looking rack number in white paint on the buttstock. Looks like a 5 year old kid painted it on. Not a cool rack number by any stretch. I want to remove this but don't want to damage the stock at all. I don't think the stock is painted, but hard to tell with these surplus rifles. It is one of the M16A1 kits from centerfire. Any recommendations? I have had great luck with “Goof-Off” taking them right off with no damage to the stock |

Not sure I would try acetone, its great for degreasing wood but it dissolves plastics
Try WD-40 and fine steel wool. Or paint over it |

Goof Off worked great and left no residue. I am sure acetone is cheaper and it will perfect for this, but I already had the Goof Off on hand. It smells pretty harsh, so use it outside of course |
