This...im gonna do it this afternoon...what kind of oil..or grease?
Ballistol !
Ballistol is all-natural, non-toxic and does not lose its ability to lubricate even when mixed with water. Cleans black powder residue and is not petro-chemical based, so it will not affect a "seasoned" muzzleloader or black powder cartridge gun.
Notes:Many Uses
Protects Guns (also dissolves traces of copper, lead, brass and black powder residues)
Neutralizes Acids and Acidic Residues
Emulsifies with Water for Dilution, yet Holds its Properties
Protects Wood, Leather, Plastic, Rubber
Use as Marine Lubricant
Technical Information
Material:Multipurpose Liquid Lubricant

BALLISTOL dissolves traces of lead, copper, zinc, brass and tombac, which are used to make projectiles and jackets for them. Residues of these metals will remain in the bore of any firearms as a result of shooting jacketed or unjacketed lead projectiles. The use of BALLISTOL makes scraping or brushing the bore unnecessary. Just pour or spray enough into the barrel and chamber, turn the firearm around several times to allow the liquid to reach all parts and let it "go to work". Later, the residues will then completely be cleaned out.
Due to its alkaline character BALLISTOL is ideal for cleaning and maintaining black powder firearms. BALLISTOL eliminates the need for brutal mechanical scrubbing and aggressive solvents.
Of course, you should also use BALLISTOL to treat your holsters, belts and carrying slings.
FIREARMS - Cleans & dissolves traces of copper, lead, brass, zinc, & tombac. Lubricates & protects firearms, lock, stock & barrel. Forms a film that protects against rust. Will never gum-up or harden. Ideal for pistol grips, & rifle stocks.
BLACK POWDER - Dissolves black powder residues. Emulsifies with water. Mildly alkaline, neutralizes acids. Excellent patch lube.
LEATHER - Use on boots, shoes, gloves, holsters, slings, & saddles. Protects leather against water. Keeps leather soft & pliable, will darken lighter colors. Do not use on suede.
KNIVES & TOOLS - Lubricates, cleans, & protects metal, plastic, rubber, & wood. Outstanding penetrating oil, creeps into the finest cracks, loosens nuts & bolts. Also use as a cutting/boring oil (20:1).
MARINE - Use in motor compartments, on joints, links, wire pulls, & around battery terminals. Protects electrical contacts. Beautifies faded gel coats. Lubricates zippers, push buttons, & winches. Great for fishing rods, reels, & tackle. Protects Aluminum, prevents pitting.
ROAD & TRAIL - Lubricates autos, motorcycles, bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, skis, & sports equipment. Protects all camping gear.

Well, I went to Big Boys ( now a stones throw from my house) to look for the Ballistol stuff. They didn't have that, but did have Clenzoil. Did the trick, and the stock actually looks better, and the cosmoline is gone. Yay, and thanks for all the suggestions.
Well it was a bit of a mess but I turned on the oven, cracked it open a few inches and set my mosin on top of the door. Great way to melt it out and piss off the ol lady at the same time.
