You never actually mentioned how you started out... You're talking about hot water - is simple 'hot' water coming from a tab hot enough or should it be cooking water? Also, how much simple green are you using?

Thanks!

[CannonPros]

@Schuultz boiling water and it says on the simple green itself but i usually do 1 and a half cups a gallon sometimes 2 cups a gallon

My m44 was clean when clean when I got it

[CannonPros]

@atnipjoe id still at least do the bolt, If it gets stick bolt syndrome like most do, do this. This is of my "newly" purchased M91/30 from AIMSurplus. My M44 was clean when I got it too, but i was amazed at what still came off the bolt and out of the chamber.

wait, could i do this to my stock on mine....?

[CannonPros]

@JESSEANDISAACSHOW unless your redoing the whole stock then no. To rid cosmoline from your stock, just get hot water pour into a tub and steam the stock. That should break the cosmo. in the stock loose and it should wipe up clean with a rag or two.

I done this with sks's before if anyone thinks it will hurt the wood stock it won't but the wood will swell and the grain will pop up just a little nothing little sanding won't fixs
