    Total cost to clean: $50
    Profit after cleaning: $5.80

    So no, it would be unreasonable to expect that any firearms retail would be cleaning the cosmoline off a low-value rifle like the SKS. Clean it yourself and learn something new about your rifle.
    But Westrifle does clean cosmoline! So go figure.

    Can you buy cosmoline somewhere ? I am looking for some. What would be the best way to apply to whole rifle.

    I hope they're not, cleaning the Cosmo off a newly purchased red rifle is part of the fun!

    I find cleaning my guns so peaceful. Especially the 2 hours cleaning cosmoline off. My zen garden

    If you plan on using cheap corrosive ammo;

    You're going to be cleaning your SKS a lot anyways. Get used to it.
