looks great, congratulations. my tool kit was packed with cosmoline too, so bad I haven even bothered trying to clean it yet. good luck with the new rifle, looks like you got a really good deal!
Great looking SKS Marion! I missed the post so am just now seeing your prize! Can't wait for a range report to see how that thing shoots!
I pray we have a nice weekend. I have a deep need to bust some caps. Have Mosins to shoot and at least one SKS.
I found a Russian in great condition yesterday and for less than I could buy a yugo from J&G I bought it. Tula arsenal, pretty dark wood, excellent bore.

Want that cosmo off fast? Pull your furniture and run it thru the dishwasher if you can fit it.
Did I mention my wife hates me?
I guess its the wood worker in me that wont let me do that!! I know a lotta guys swear by it but the old wood worker says wood and water no good!! My SKS doesnt have any cosmolne anyway it has already been cleaned up! If it works for you go for it !!
