"I've left the stock out on the deck in the Texas heat for several consecutive afternoons and it continues to sweat
cosmoline."

Wash the stock in "Dawn" dishwashing detergent with a soft brush and warm water. Repeat a couple of times. Let it dry naturally. Buff it lightly with 0000 steel wool, and wipe it down with a light coat of Tung Oil. I have restored numerous military stocks over the years. It works very well on Luger grips too.
