What's your game plan on cleaning off the Cosmoline?
Saw some youtube vids and i think I will dump all the parts in mineral spirit and use a 4 inch pvc pipe to immerse the barrel..

paint thinner works good, since the initial cleaning i've been using simple green and hot water works real good, the pvc tube works great for the barrel, make sure you take the firing pin out and clean that real good or you could get slam fires.
SKS is allot of fun and cheap to shoot

Paint thinner?
NO!
Now we're talking... Boiling water out of the kettle, then your gunoil of choice....G96 if you ask me.

Cleaned my sks with brake cleaner in the garage in a large garbage can, all the gunk ran off on to some old rags, then air from compressor, then soak everything in wd40, wipe down and reassemble. Oil and grease where things slide, except of course around the firing pin. Complete cosmo removed in about an hour. Will be some tight areas to use a dental pik or qtip to get but that's it.
Brake cleaner won't hurt anything but will strip all the gunk off the metal, so be sure to recoat with something as soon as its dry.

I'm waiting by my window for the truck to roll in. My order must have been in the same shipment. I'm located between you two guys and the CanPar guy usually gets here between 2PM & 4PM.

The SKS prices are way up overseas, so I cannot say if we will have it again.
