Just got a new set of RPK furniture from Interordnance. Any specific tricks to make the cosmo removal easier? Its all over everything, and the upper handguard/gas tube is completely coverd in it. Thanks! (I'll post pics when I get it changed)

If it was still winter, I would ask you if you had a woodstove to set it near :)
I have always found that to be pretty effective in the past.

Another thing you might consider is placing the parts in a sunny spot on some foil. Keep wiping it down and you'll see a big difference.

Hope that helps!

I used WD40 on the metal parts and mineral spirits on the wood of my SKS, those items worked extremely well. If you already have one, I hear a steamer works well also.

DOH! I forgot about that...yes, it does work VERY well. I have a little "Shark Steamer" that I used on some Nagants and Mausers in the past :)

I place my parts in the oven at 150 degrees. Much will melt off, and the rest is pretty easy to wipe away after that.

Is it ok to bake it out of 75rnd drums?
