I can see what looks like cosmoline residue in some of your photos.
When you cleaned the rifle did you completely disassemble the bolt?

My rifle was so soaked with cosmoline I had to take the rifle completely apart.
I found the bolt was full of cosmoline and there was a LOT under the chamber/barrel and in the magazine.
I use spray carburetor cleaner to remove cosmoline. It works great and doesn't harm the finish.
