Oxalic acid will also reverse oxidation, but it can do so unevenly.

Thank for the info. As a last resort in degreasing an SKS or similar I could live with the down side. Rest assured that I'd never use oxalic acid on a Rigby or Holland stock, if I could ever again afford one.

Oaxalic acid. Typically used for bleaching wood. But also kills varroa mites (was never officially approved for hive use, and one can get into trouble for using it) so most have turned to using powdered sugar [not confectioners].
Gunstocks. Yeah, that's it. I'm going to bleach a lot of gunstocks. Wait until the guys at the hardware store hear that one.
