I just got some magazines from AIM for my new TT-33. They were covered in cosmo so I wiped them down best I could but I couldn't get the goo out from inside the magazine. Does anyone have any tips about how to get this stuff out or will the looser tolerances of the TT-33 allow these magazines to function?

A lengthy, room temperature kerosene soak, maybe? Swirling occasionally? Overnight?
Oh yeah: Enjoy the TT33! Excellent, excellent gun. Keep an eye on the recoil spring, especially if you shoot any big volume.

Get an old kettle and boil the H--l out of it. Then oil it up with REM OIL.
Mine work well after that.

Keeterbird,
How long did you leave the suckers in? I've got some old pots in the garage and I could leave one on during the skins game tomorrow.
I might also want to grab some spare parts (thanks woad_yurt) off of buymilsurp.com

Diesel fuel works for me. Soak and swirl and repeat a few times.
How long depends on how "waxy" the cosmo is.
After I'm done I pour the stuff where I don't want weeds or plants to grow -- sidewalk cracks, around the pool plumbing, etc.

The boiling takes me about 10 minutes I get the water boiling and then throw it in. Need a pliers or something to pull it out and dry it. The rag will look bad.
It won't rust if you get a spray of REM Oil in it.
That's what I do Barbasac.
Hope it helps

I tossed mine in an old coffee can and the poured some mineral spirits over them and let them soak over the weekend. That loosened most of the heavy cosmo!
