Hi Everyone,
Can I get some advise on the cleaning off of Cosmoline and preserving a 100 year old Mosin Stock.

I am not going to change anything. My intention is keep it just like it is. I just don't want it to get any worse. The metal is easy. It's the wood I worry about. I'm liking the inside the car thing.
Don't worry about getting every last drop of cosmoline out of the stock either. If you're not going to apply an other sort of perservative to the wood, the residual will help prevent dry-rot.
Plus you yourself will acquire the wonderful smell of warm cosmoline when residual amounts leak out when you shoot your rifle on a warm day.
