I recently picked up a few old Mausers that are just covered in cosmoline. I have had guns in the past with light coats on the bolts/receiver and whatnot, but these things look like some Slavic fuck just dunked them in a giant vat of the goo and put them in a warehouse for the better part of a century.
I have heard of using paint thinner, diesel, simple green, kerosene, etc. but I do not want to damage the finish of the stocks (they are sweating cosmo). What methods have you used in the past?
