I don't know why this never occurred to me until last night but the wife was using her "Scunci Steamer" to clean the bathroom and suddenly I had one of those "Ah HAH!" moments.
So I took down my SKS and my Rossi 92 SRC and had at them. I am happy to say that every nook and cranny in the receivers are now pristinely clean. The hardest parts of the deal were making sure that the blasts of steam didn't throw gunk all over the place, and then making sure the water was all dried out. A good spritz of Breakfree, wipedown and a couple of dry patches through the barrel and then re-assembly and wow, they almost look unfired.
Tonight I'm going to field strip my Ruger 22/45 MK III and maybe even my Savage 64 ('cause I hate getting into the chamber on that one).
I wonder if this would blast cosmoline out as well...hrmmmm.
