Yes. That "goop" is why you can buy an excellent piece of military surplus at a discount rate, rather than paying a premium price for a rusted-out POS whose value is reliant on scarcity.
Welcome to the love/hate relationship that is cosmoline.
Or just read the Field-stripping guide down in the Red Rifles section...

Lies, all lies, you will never get use to that ####in smell. Every gun I have is cleaned and lubed with FrogLube, including my SKS, but guess what I smell everytime I open my gun cabinet, COSMOLINE from the SKS stock.
You should be good then. Now, you are firing corrosive ammo, correct?
Make sure after firing you use this method:
Field Combat Method:
Urinate down barrel from breech to muzzle
Run dry patch down barrel
Use nose grease on patch to oil barrel
(Yes, that is a real method).
But you can also use boiling water or windex with ammonia in lieu of Urine.

I'm fond of giving it a thorough wipe-down (inside and out) and not being too particular about all the nooks and crannies. Next, take it to the range with a bunch of ammo and make that sucker smoke!
arhh.. the sweet minty flavour of FrogLube!
Whats the trick? No matter how many frogs I squeeze, none smell like mint!
