Finally got the time to clean the cosmo from my 91/30 Izhevsk bolt. Didn't have the chance to do the barrel or stock. I live in NC and we had a few rain showers today. LOL!
Used the boiling water method and added Dawn dish liquid. That stuff really cuts the grease! First time ever doing that and I highly recommend it!

Don't ignore the chamber where the bolt locks in. If you shoot it without getting All the cosmo out of here you will have zee sticky bolt. If your rifles's dissembled stick the receiver down in boiling water and that'll do it, but there are other methods to brush/mop it out....Sticky Bolt No Damn Goode.....
....SBP....almost as many Mosins as JYD

Not going to shoot it yet. Once the weather clears, I'm disassembling the rifle and cleaning it the same way. Bolt already cycles better than it did!

It is amazing how much crud can hide inside the bolt and all its parts. A lot of people neglect to remove the extractor from the bolt and if you do be careful not to bend it, but there will be more crud under there in the little slotted area.

Got it!
Now to pick up a 40" long piece of 6" pvc pipe with end so I can take care of the barrel, chamber, and trigger.
