[QUOTE="KenDaMastuh, post: 1864717, member: 24572"] Actually, I didn't remove all the cosmoline and grease. I just cleaned the surface stuff and called it good. Yeah, I'm pretty lazy, aren't I? :P From what I know, it doesn't have any effect on shootability. Just get the cosmoline off on the outside (so your hands aren't absolutely greasy after you shoot) and let shooting take care of its job (the guns do heat up rather quickly). If you want, you can completely tear it down and bake the metal components or give them a bath in mineral spirits and then oil it back up again. The stock should be taken care of after a few days in the sun with the weather as hot as it is. Be aware that mineral spirits do ruin the varnish on the stock, but re- varnishing it shouldn't be a difficult job. P.S. In your photo, the bayonet is on wrong. After fully pushing the bayonet on the barrel (was a pain in the a** for me to get it on), you should be able to twist it to the left (again, it requires a bit of force) and it clicks on. EDIT: Brain fart. Put minerals "salts" instead of "spirirts" [/QUOTE]
