Well, I was sitting around and cleaning my milsurps the other night when a question, or rather a pair of them, struck my mind.
Anyone who has picked out a milsurp rifle, especially of the soviet variety, is very intimately familiar with this lovely substance called cosmoline. That gooey goodnes which hides our old-new toys.
My first question is, how did the various governments (mostly the US and USSR) get the stuff onto the weapons?
My second question is, what were the two major super powers' plans for getting the stuff off quickly? We all know the various individual techniques needed for us to get it off (dishwasher, denautred alcohol, etc), but I'm curious as to how the government planned to quickly bring these weapons into play.
Thanks in advance for your responses!
