I recently picked up a Stargate with a painted lockdown bar and rails. I sanded the paint off of the lockdown bar. What do you guys recommend for quicker/ more efficient paint removal?

Lacquer thinner will remove pretty much anything, remove side rails first

Paint stripper. If the rails are on the pin, then I would put the cabinet on its side. Do 1 side at a time. Use the stripper carefully, a gel type will stay in place, some what. Again use it carefully, in a well ventilated area.
