Default Yugoslavian SKS 59/66
Picked this guy up yesterday in the mail. It's caked with cosmo but, in really nice shape. The serial number puts it manufactured in 1971. I'll update after I clean it up and shoot it.

Pro-tip.

If you use corrosive ammo, you must clean the gas cutoff valve completely, otherwise it will corrode to the point that the rifle will become a single-shot.

Mine was caked in cosmoline. To the point I ran to Wally World and picked up a cheap clothes steamer to melt it out. Boiling smaller parts will melt it out too.

Acetone in a metal pan will also disolve cosmoline.

I used mineral spirits to clean the cosmoline off of my SKS metal parts, same on my Mosin Nagant (I don't own any of those guns presently, miss them though). It worked well. For the stock, I simply left it out in the sun on a hot summer FL day, the cosmo oozed out and all I had to do was wipe it off.
