Just picked up a Mosin Nagant, 80 rounds of surplus, the "kit" and a bayonet for $112 OTD. The bad thins is that the gun came with about 13 and a half pounds of Cosmoline as well.
Has anyone tried the dishwasher method for removing this stuff? What would you recommend for cleaning the cosmoline off? I would also like to "repair" the stock some, as it has some dings and uneven staining. This isn't a collectors rifle, it's going to be shot, but I would like it took look good as well. I don't intend to ever sporterize it, but like a Classic Car, it deserves to look it best.
Thanks!
