Bruce vs. Cosmoline - Round 1

So far so good with the "new" SKS.

Takedown was a breeze (thank you, surplusrifle.com).

Had a couple hours this afternoon to work on it, so I was able to get most of the pieces-parts cleaned - just need to take the bolt apart to get to the firing pin and the extractor, clean the trigger group, and then begin the stock cleaning/refinishing.

The best part - under all the gunk was a nice, shiny barrel. I'll try to get some pics up later on. "24" (hours 3 and 4) starts in five minutes. So, that will have to wait.

Happiness is...
