What is this Discipline you speak of?

[Niederlander]

I'm not really sure.  Just a vague concept I heard about once!

  Now for a simple question...What is the easiest method for cleaning old bores, (Rolling Block 7mm) and removing cosmoline in my Mausers bores and other metal.  I have various cleaning fluids and Brake cleaner.   Is oven cleaner still a valid method?  I will be cleaning outside if needed for vapor control Or fan in shop door.

[Niederlander]

I'm sure you'll get different answers, but I always just cleaned cosmoline with gasoline.  Use a soft scrub brush you don't mind ruining, and just start scrubbing.  You can put small parts in a can full of gas.  Once you get most of it off, you can clean with normal solvents.  Kroil is an excellent bore cleaner, as well as the best penetrating oil there is.  I don't know that I'd use oven cleaner, as it can take finish off things you don't want it off of.  If you want to get oil out of a stock, remove all the metal, wait until a good hot summer day, and cover your pickup dash with paper towels.  (Lots of them, you don't want oil on your dash.)   Close the windows and let the sun heat up the stock.  The oil will start oozing out, so just mop it up with more paper towels.  That should get you started at least!

[Niederlander]

Just to be clear, only use the gasoline OUTSIDE, and AWAY FROM SPARKS OR FLAMES!  Sorry if I'm offending anyone's intelligence here, but I thought I'd better throw that out.  Also, I forgot to mention, get a Big 45 Frontier Metal Cleaner.  It looks like very coarse steel wool, but it won't hurt bluing.  I've never found anything better for scrubbing off rust and petrified grease.

A less automotive alternative to the truck dash method is to wrap the stock in paper towels, then place it in a Black trash bag, seal it up and set it out in the sun.  Works amazingly well.  May have to change out the paper towels a few times, depending on how much oil is in the stock.

[Niederlander]

Never thought of that, but it sounds like it would work!

Finally got the 1898 Krag yesterday.
  It looks like the stock is still usable ( for GAF) after the recoil pad is removed.
I need to remove the Williams rear site off the barrel and the Lyman Band front site.  I need to Order OEM stock sites and handguard, along with brass.   I think I have an 03 front site in my misc. pile.  Maybe use that.. 
  A local club has Vintage rifle shoots.   100yds and use GAF loads? Now I have a Rolling block, 7mm. Chilean 1895 in .308, and now a Krag for SAW.  Now to clean everything and oil to store.

The Trail Boss loads are amazingly consistent.  I've shot some of my best 100 yard groups with them.  They seem to hold up quiet well to 200 yards as well, once you figure out the sight settings.  I've recently been shooting the Lee 312-155 bullet, it feeds and shoots better than my 200 grainers, and is well suited for a slightly oversize bore.

I finally got some 7mmM ammo and dies.
I will pull down the Factory ammo and reload to starting charges for safety.
I have numerous powders, both rifle and pistol, and BP; but no Trailboss.
