I purchased a Mosin last year, I stripped every piece of metal of the gun soaked it in mineral spirits to get all the cosmoline off, then cleaned the barrel, then cleaned it with copper solvent, and re-cleaned it. Used a hair dryer on the wood to sweat the cosmoline out. whipped it down, did this about 4 times... I was thinking about putting it on my grill and setting the temp control to bake it for a couple hours... It still leaches a little cosmoline but whips clean now. It is a really good shooter. I might have to get one of those archangel stocks for it, but I kinda like it as it is...
