After getting all the metal parts de-Cosmolined it was time for a bath in a 10:1 mixture of Mobil 1 and Marvel Mystery Oil (thanks Cane).
Here's another warning...before you reassemble the barrel and stock reinstall the rear sight mount, leaf spring and sight base. You may (will) need to use a C-clamp or some other tool to depress the spring enough to insert the roll pin (unless you have the strength of Hercules or a GI Joe Kung Fu grip). Be sure to protect the barrel and sight base with a towel of some sort. Trying to complete the sight with the stock on is, well..let's just say frustrating.
I tried to get a shot of the bore...its actually quite bright with very noticable rifling with no signs of any counterboring.
Now on to the stock. It has a nice reddish color that I want to preserve so I think its Murphy's Oil Soap and lots of work, I'll post up pics of the finished product as soon as they're available.

The Red Color is actually shellac. Good job!

I de-cosmofied the parts of my PSL in boiling water and had a similar problem - I couldn't lift them out of the water without pulling them through the oily layer floating on top. I ended up cleaning them a second time with mineral spirits. Maybe if I'd let the water cool down until the cosmo congealed and skimmed it off first they'd have come out cleaner.
Marvel and Mobil 1, that's a good idea. Thanks!
Dave

You're welcome.
That stuff (Cane's Mobil Mystery Gun Oil) really works!
Great post Jpyle!

sink some paper towels in the water with the parts make sure you weigh em down with something other than parts to be cleaned. when ready to remove carefully cover parts with submerged towels and lift. cosmo will stick to towels not parts.

That's what I would up doing as well, brushed everyting down with Mineral Spirits to get rid of that waxy residue on the metal.

Nice work! The orange polish didn't leave the wood sticky, did it?
