Update: took it to the car wash to pressure wash, lower pressure than I expected but didn’t feel like breaking out the pressure washer. The sticky reside was pretty much gone, but it looked like shite.

The areas around the grips were the worst.

Let it soak in some more rubbing alcohol for about 30 minutes, it took a little elbow grease with combo of an old tooth brush, non scratch scotch brite (blue), and an brush attachment for a drill it looks a lot better.

Calling it an afternoon now, but gonna let it fully dry for a few days and decide if I’m gonna give it another go, with rubbing alcohol and another good scrub, or hit it with a couple rattle cans and some clear coat, or bring it to get hydro dipped. So far, just used stuff around the house, but overall I have about $5 bucks in rubbing alcohol, 8 foot of quart width roll of vacuum bags, which I never use, and a couple hours of my time into getting it off, rather than spending a few hundred on a new stock. So it looks like it can be done, since Beretta isn’t willing to do anything about it.

I’m thinking about talking to the truck bed liner place on the way home and see if I can get a fine mist put on it or if I should pick up the rattle can version.

I went through this a while back on a Sako Finnlight. I ended up having mine sanded then cerakoating it. It came out great, cost a lot less than buying a new wood or carbon stock.
