I've used a soak in acetone to remove the coating off sling swivels. Might work for a stock too.

Acetone will not touch it, I tried!

Will do!
Has anyone ever seen just a latch for an aluminum carbine stock, I mean an anodized latch not vinyl coated? I need one badly! |

I don't think there is anodizing under the vinyl acetate. The coating pretty much needs to be blasted off. Victor at U.S. Anodizing did mine and anodized it XM grey. He did a great job.
Ive' never seen an anodized latch sold as a stand alone part, USGI or otherwise. I have seen the vinyl coated latchs on rare occaision on GB. Hell I've never seen an original anodized early CAR stock for sale either. That's a rare bird. |

I've blasted them before with good results. Anymore I just leave them, I kind of like the Israeli look.
