Well......I've got my greezy Yugo SKS all stripped down and I've started to degrease it. Man this shit is like glue!
 I tried using Gun Scrubber and that don't do nothing. The best thing so far is Brake cleaner but it's slow going. This shit is tougher than the 60 Year old cosmoline that was on my '03 Springfield I got from the CMP. Anyone know what would work any better to get this crappy old cosmoline off my Yugo?

What I do is use the gas barbeque grill in the back yard. Take the stripped down barrelled receiver and wrap it in paper towels. Wrap any parts also in paper towels.
Place all of this on the grill, with aluminum foil over the grill so you don't contaminate it. Let the parts sit over the grill for 10 or 15 minutes with fairly high heat, and the cosmoline will liquify and soak into the toweling. Unwrap, and spray with brake cleaner. You now have clean, degreased parts! -David. |

Boiling water works well too. Just remember to thoroughly dry it and go over it with CLP.

Boiling water as said, Simple Green, or Castrol Degreaser in purple bottle after boiling water. Laundry soap (tide) with hot water. After using the cleaner, flush with boiling water and put gun in oven at 250-300 F. Dry out the water and bring more oil and grease out of crevises. Degrease again then use your favorite oil.
Oven cleaner to degrease wood if needed. |

Take it in the shower with hot water and powder or liquid tide or dawn dish soap, a soft bristle brush or large toothbrush, and scrub it clean. you aren't going to hurt it and it will clean right up.
