To continue this thought...
While biding my time looking for the right SKS (sooner or later one will jump out at me...), I bought a Yugo 24/47 Mauser off a friend of mine. He is moving and didn't have a place for it, got it fot $50 off him, with bayonet, ammo pouches, sling. He had only bought a few weeks earlier (a Big-5 special). It is also covered in cosmoline, something he never cleaned off...
I have heard that mineral spirits with a toothbrush works, and that some invest in a steam cleaner...
The Mauser should be fairly straight-forward to clean, but from what I have read some of the SKS's that can be found seem to have been literally dunked in the stuff... any thoughts on how best to clean it?
