To remove cosmoline, get a metal trash can (or metal container that fits the gun). Place the gun in the trash can and place the can in the sun.
About 90% of the cosmoline will melt off depending on how hot the outside temp is. It works great here in Florida and it save a lot of $ on cleaners and rags, not to mention time and effort.
You can also use a heat gun to draw the stuff from the wooden stock.
