    my chinese sks was so packed with grease that it took 2 days to clean, and another day with the stock.
    spent a week in the oven to bleed the grease, a few dishwasher runs, and then a week to oïl...
    will never do that again.

    Now I just need to do the cleaning I'd do on any new firearm and head to the range.
    I was expecting a lot more cosmoline, thanks guys!

    Yeah,the stock on the Chinese SKS is pretty full of cosmoline. I've been using a heat gun to get it to sweat out the cosmoline. Pretty slow going. My Russian SKS was way easier to clean. For the Chinese one I had to break out a bucket of simple green, a heatgun , lots of shop towels, tooth picks, q-tips. Took about 3 hours. Came out super clean by the end...just the stock left to finish.
    I enjoy firearms and firearm accessories.

    Picked up two last year. Have to say "they were really nice 1951 Tula hardwoods and pre cleaned as good as it gets". Hope you enjoy yours as much as I like mine.

    I had a ftf today with mine.
    Don't understand why, the primer took a good wack.
    Put the round thru again and it fired it lol...

    That is after Thousands of rounds...I think I might have run about 5000 thru it already lol
    You will love it :-)

    Shooting clays at 160 yards today with the irons
