honestly.... take the parts to your local car wash, put a few coins in and blast it off.
OR... get several cold adult beverages, make sure the kids are out of ear shot - you will start at some point to scream obscenities - and get out some break free, mineral spirits, or some simple green... then, put a lot of elbow grease into it. Oh, and clear your calendar for the whole day LOL
I have two rifles that are covered in cosmoline. Currently they're in my bedroom closet. There is nothing better than the smell of waking up to cosmoline! :D
Moosie

Someone told me WD-40 works well, but I've never had the opportunity to try it. It's worth a shot. You probably already have some.

I'd be interested to hear if it works, if you give it a try.

Lol yeah something most people don't know.
I disassembled my rifles, placed all the parts in a settub, covered with hot water and poured about 4 cups Simple Green in. Let it overnight. Turn on hot water while draining the old cold, and let sit for a few minutes again. Removed each piece while running under hot water and then sprayed them with WD-40 and placing them on a cloth. Completely cleaned of the stuff. Note I also complete broke down the bolt.. Not just removed it.
This took all the cosmolene off. It was painless and the Simple Green did all the work overnight. The WD-40 is basically to displace most of the water not really to protect the parts. I then clean, polish and then lub and protect them with Fluid Film... Or whatever you wish to use.
