went and picked up my type 53 from lgs....man has that gun seem some times....wood is rough and there must have been 20lbs of cosmoline on it....took it apart and i got a wall heater in shed that blows hot air out the bottom of it so i just set it in front of it for about an hr and the parts were hot enough you really didnt want to hold them for long but everything was just leakin the cosmo all over the towel they were on,,,so did a really good wipe down and started it up again. after 3 times doing this nothing was coming off anymore. did a good clean and the barrel grooves look new and the bolt slides smooth and a real light trigger pull...somewhere in the 4 to 5lb range i would guess. gonna take her out tomorrow and if it shoots good will do a finish on the wood but with the way barrel looked should have no problems,
