Here's the story:
I've got a new (to me) pretty good condition SKS with a fair ammount of cosmoline in the action. I've been told by several sources to use acetone, so I got started. Don't have alot of time, so some of the parts are soaking outside. I headed in to clean up and used some mineral spirits on my hands, it ate the cosmoline right off!
Can I use mineral spirits to clean the cosmoline without damaging the gun?
