Last year I came across a SKS rifle from a private seller for a good price. All of the serial numbers matched and the Bayonet was still connected along with the cleaning kit still in the stock. After shooting the gun several times I decided to clean it. That's when I noticed that the bolt, which has a floating firing pin was packed with cosmoline. Turns out there is cosmoline in the gas tube, barrel, magazine, everywhere. What's the best stuff to use to clean it out. I went thru a bottle of Hoops #9, 2 cans of carb cleaner just to clean the bolt. I have to clean the brush after each stroke down the barrel. Any suggestions will help.
