They aren't that bad, but they will let you know they are there.

There are a lot of different ways to get the cosmoline out. You can take the stock, wrap it in a black trash bag, and set it on the dash of your car for an afternoon in the Texas sun, and that will get a lot of it to bleed out. I used a clothes steamer on my Mosin, and that worked really well, along with mineral spirits and elbow grease.

I need to order one of these or one of the Chines Type 53's while they have some in stock. I've got a weakness for cheap old battle rifles. Frome what I understand, everything should be similar to the 91/30 with regards to accuracy and reliability, just in a handier package with a bigger fireball.
