I know that when I did this, I let the shell sit in 91% alcohol for about two days and it didn't make a dent in the original Weaver paint. Afterwards on different threads I read that Weaver did something different with their paint at one point (at least I think that's what it was). All I know is that it may as well have been sitting in water for that long. The only thing the alcohol did was remove the RR logos...
The Easy-Off I wasn't really keen on using, looking back now, I wish I would've just started with that and didn't by 3 jugs of the alcohol. Yes, there is a little bit of a chemical smell, but in my split level house, the smell didn't leave the area I was working in. Much easier and faster than the alcohol for sure.
