[QUOTE="warpusher, post: 1788576, member: 10742"] Here's what I have done that works well. 1. Buy two large aerosol cans of non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner. Grab a bucket if you don't have one as well. 2. Completely disassemble weapon. Remove all metal (with exception of crossstock bolt screw and the metal sling hole protectors (if they're there)) 3. Place all metal parts in bucket and clean with brake parts cleaner. Wipe dry. You also spray down the reciever/barrel group too. 4. Take next brake parts can and hose down the stock and handguard. The shellac/cosmoline will just melt off. remaining sludge can be wiped off. Spray down dark spots as well. 5. Take fine (220 Grit or smaller) sandpaper to wood 6. stain wood with your choice of stain/oil/etc. 7. reassemble rifle I also highly recommend getting a pistol cleaning rod (~10") and putting a 20 gauge brush on the end of it. Place this cleaning rod in a drill, douse the brush with hoppes/cleaning agent and put it in the chamber. Spin on low for ~20-30 sec, redouse, then spin the other way for another 30 sec. make sure to avoid jamming the brush into the barrel itself. This will clean any caked on cosmo/gunk in the chamber (a common fault of mosins). Depending on the stain chosen and the rifle I can take a gunked out 91 to almost new in ~12 hours. [/QUOTE]
