I gave up my C&R awhile back, I'd jump on these if I still had it.

I really hope it works out for you and they make it right. Mine came in last Friday and looks the same as MilsurpDan described. Looks like it was refurbed, oiled up, then stored for however many years. Really great condition. No rust that I cold see and all matching numbers. For me it turned out to be a great purchase

They told me they were sending me a label to send it back 3 days ago. I asked about an exchange instead of a refund. No reply yet.

i printed the paperwork to start filling out for my c&r today. why did you give it up?
My Type 54 is covered in a thin layer of what looks like cosmoline. I tried rubbing it down with Hoppe's but it didnt seem to take much off.
Any solvents that will remove cosmoline but not the paint? Or should I try boiling water?
Boiling water does work the best as long as you dry and oil afterwards. I did this with many Russian Surplus Rifles and handguns piece by piece.

Take the grip panels off and anything else with plastic (guide rod? Can’t remember if these are all metal guide rods or if there is some plastic in them) and then toss it in the oven at about 170-200F for a few hours. That’ll melt it all off. Put a baking sheet under it or put it on one

Black trash bag and put it in the sun. Can even claim you're being eco-friendly that way
Does make the house smell like Mother Russia when doing this I’ll say...

Make sure to pull the firing pin out and get the tunnel nice and squeaky clean.
And a good opportunity to check that it's straight and intact.
Not knowing the origin/history of these, I'd also install a complete Wolff Service Pak spring kit before shooting it.
I'd be looking for a stock trigger too

Update
RGuns sent me a label to return the pistol with no fuss. I told them I'd accept refund or exchange. Evidently they chose exchange as I just got a tracking number for another package.
They were less than prompt with emails but in the end it got handled.

Bass Pro at Arundel Mills just got 30 boxes of CCI No. 200 Large Rifle Primers. I only bought 3.

Boiling water and Dawn mixed in will remove cosmoline pretty well.

Anyone figure out if the Norinco 213 trigger fits these Type 54 pistols?
