What's the best way to remove paint from fiberglass stock short of sandpaper and sweat?

I don’t know if it will work so well on fiberglass, but Citristrip was often recommended to remove paint from metal.

Personally, I’ve never removed paint from a rifle; just painted over it.
I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.
No rules today, sport…just orders.
It’s not about how many people you kill, it’s about how many you save.

Citristrip will work. It will take a bit longer than some other methods.  

Perform a test spot before going all in.

Use a nylon brush or natural fiber bristle brush so as not to scratch the fiberglass.

two treatments with citristrip and a plastic bag got it all off.  Kimber Hunter (moulded-in brown plastic stock). Originally had the most hideous blue "camo" paintjob. Don't know why anyone would paint it like they were going underwater, but it's all better now.
