What's the best way to remove cosmoline from a gun? that Mosin is covered in it. I went to youtube and I saw everything from simple green to EZ-OFF oven cleaner.

Yes it does but you need to be careful about going too light with the spring that can cause light hits on primers. I think mine has around a 3 or 3 1/2 pound single action pull. I saw a bigger difference with the Ruger single action revolvers (they are a little more difficult to replace).

Can't remember what I used on mine. Maybe Nitro solvent or kerosene.
I gotta piece of 3 in pvc about the length of the barrel plus receiver and capped it on one end.
put the barrel and receiver in it and filled it with mineral spirits for a few hours.
the wood I just let sit in the sun and wiped it down every couple of hours

I took the barrel and action off stock and dunked in a bathtub of soapy water to clean out cosmoline in guns I had. Then clean, dry, and lube afterwards of course.

The GP is unique in that way how it's built. Not like the oldschool Blackhawks and such. I will investigate this. Does it allow for adjusting?

GP is identical to Super Redhawks. Take off grip panels, cock hammer and insert the pin inside the grip into the hole in trigger strut and pull from gun. No real adjustment since its coil springs but the springs are easily replaced.

Thought that coil might be shimmed to increase the preload. A supplied pin?

Boiling water.
I had a surplus SKS that was caked in cosmoline, I disassembled it and dropped the small parts into a pan of boiling water and poured boiling water down in and on the outside of the barrel and stock.
If you are a single guy, you can also just run the gun through your dishwasher. If you are married, probably not.

$280 is an excellent deal, I would take it too.
another method was to bake in the oven.... if you're single..haha
turpentine or paint thinner will work perfect... just don't be smoking

Nice video. That's probably the first blued one I've seen. I have the 4" stainless with the full underlug. Nice balance.

I also have the 4" stainless with factory grips. I have replaced the grips on some of my other revolvers but the GP100 has pretty good standard grips. I did replace the front sight inserts. It is easy to pop in inserts of different colors to get one that gives you a better sight picture.

I have those too. I liked the fluorescent orange, but I broke it. The ones I had were just plastic.
Gee,
lets see, what we have in this story: Religion, Gun owner, Right Wing Republican, Homosexual hater, immigrant hater, Obama hater and pastor of a church. Sounds like the typical FOX news profile of a good american.

NOPE. Just another disturbed american capable of owning a gun.
