| What is the best why to get this stuff off? Just got a Yugo Mauser and it is soaked thru and thru |
| Take the action out of the stock. Detail strip rifle and bolt. Place all metal parts in a cheap disposable turkey pan. Pour in a inch or two of white gas AKA Coleman Lantern Fuel. Using a cheap paintbrush cut down to about two inches long and an old toothbrush scrub the parts. The cosmoline will melt away. Use cheap carb cleaner, not STP, to remove the white gas. Immediately wipe down the parts with an oily rag as the carb cleaner will dry out the parts. To clean the cosmoline off the stock do basically the same thing. Do not put the stock in the white gas. Use the paintbrush and toothbrush to apply the white gas and immediately wipe the area cleaned with a clean rag. Oil the stock with a good wood stock oil. Wear protective gloves when doing this and do it outside or in a well ventilated area. Good Luck |
