As a fellow Mosin Nagant owner, I am familiar with your sticky situation. First step-Pull the stock from the barreled action. Pretty simple, 2 screws and the 2 bands on the forend. Step 2-gently heat the stock, either in the oven (140-150 deg) and occasionally wipe it off as the cosmo beads up or use a heat lamp or heat gun. Keep the heat gun or lamp moving so the stock doesnt scorch. Takes a while, and the wife will complain about the smell. I kinda like it!!!
For the barreled action, hose it down with carb cleaner inside and out, and scrub away with a brass bore brush. clean and oil it afterwards. Pay special attention to the chamber to remove any hardened cosmoline, it can cause the bolt to stick after firing. PS, gunsmith on vacation, hope this helps u out
