Removing Cosmoline with Hot Water
This video demonstrates a practical method for removing cosmoline from a C96 Mauser pistol using hot water. The presenter highlights cosmoline's effectiveness in rust prevention but also its difficulty to clean. The process involves immersing the firearm's metal components in boiling water to melt the cosmoline, while advising against submerging wooden parts like grips. This technique is presented as an alternative to traditional cleaning methods like rags and Q-tips for heavily cosmoline-coated firearms.
