Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........



It is VERY EASY.
Go get some oven cleaner. I use a glass caserole dish to hold the parts, and coat them with the oven cleaner. After 2 or 3 mins, wash the parts off PROFUSELY with warm water. This process needs to be repeated until the parts are 'clean'. Some comes off fast, and some well... If you find some stubborn parts, using GOGGLES or some kind of EYE PROTECTION and GLOVES, and after the cleaner has sit for about 30 seconds or so, use a toothbrush on what's left. This has always worked on stubborn parts for me. If you leave the oven cleaner on too long, it WILL make dark spots on the aluminum that are practically impossible to remove.

Now, to make it look GOOD... Buy yourself some Mother's Aluminum polish (auto parts store) and in 30 seconds, you will be looking into a mirror.

The first parts I ever stripped were lower arms on my Savage and I was IMPRESSED by how quickly the stuff just runs off... I don't have any pix handy of mine to show, but that night I told Amsterdamn and he did the same to parts of his Evader. Here is a quoted post from a video-forum thread that has pics of the oven-cleaner/Mothers, stripped aluminum. Yes, this was his first try too.
