I will be getting a Mosin-Nagant in a couple weeks and doing the cosmoline removal outside is not an option. Due to the extreme cold, I'll have to do it in my little "shop" (read: glorified closet w/ a bench) in the basement. What is the least toxic way to get all the cosmoline off? Also, If I ruin the carpet down there I'll have a serious problem on my hands - so what is the cleanest/quickest way as well? I have quite a bit of Hoppes #9 on hand, can I use that? Also, I'm probably not keeping the stock, as I've ordered a synthetic stock with it, so how much cosmo will I be dealing with if I only work on the metal parts?
