Cant answer your trigger question. There is a Model 24 forum, and they might be able to help you if no one here can.
I have dealt with birch stocks. i strip by soaking in acetone for a week, followed by soaking in isopropyl or denatured alcohol for a week. Let it dry for a week, then start sanding. There are quicker methods.
Birch doesn’t take stain well. I use Fiebings leather dye. Reduce it with alcohol. Mix red and brown to get some nice shades. I do a boiled linseed oil finish over that, followed by Bri-Wax.
