I hate Cosmoline

For this particular SKS I'm using straight Gasoline as the stock is already dinged, scratched and has stuff carved into it. Since it's going to have to be refinished anyways I the closer to bare wood I can get things the better.

When the weather is warmer I can put stocks out in the sun and the cosmoline just bakes out of the wood. Then again it's over 110 degrees during the summer.

For a non-destructive method, you can't beat a tub full of mineral spirits and an old toothbrush.
