Hello just acquired a 1939 Finnish captured mosin I would like to clean up the stock still has cosmoline.. the stock is a war time stock and dont want to lose anything by doing something wrong.. tryed emailing several museums that have mosins displayed and nothing back from them yet..
Any help would be great
Thanks again

There are several youtube videos about this. I never had I case to check these methods, but I believe light heating of the stock will make cleaning easier, and will not damage the finish
