Cosmolin..like the Russians uses on the Mosins....comes in a bar like soap...melt it and pour it all over...put it on realy thick....no rust for years too come....course takes a day or to of hard work to get engough of the stuff off just to free the action....

I found brake cleaner to work good getting off cosmoline,'course you need about a case of it per rifle.

I've found that boiling water makes short work of cosmoline on parts small enough to put in a pot of boiling water, the bore and reciever are a different story, for them it only works to break up or soften the cosmoline enough to allow hoppes or what ever you like to use to clean it off.
