Anyone have any suggestions on the removal of cosmoline from my newly
acquired Mosin-Nagant?

You can cut it with paint or lacquer thinner but most of the removal
is mechanical.
If you use a solvent, you need to get a protecting coat of oil back on
it right away.
We had to bring a couple of 1911s back from this mummification on the
ship. We detail stripped them, wiped off all we could and dunked the
metal parts in a bucket of thinner over night. They came out like
new.
One of the GM3s stripped the grease off a set of the walnut stocks and
refinished them with linseed oil. They came out pretty nice.

A four foot chunk of pvc capped at one end and filled with mineral
spirits might do the job.

Now I just can't wait to get to Wal Mart to buy a gallon of mineral
spirits.
