Cosmoline Removal of the Zastava M48B 8mm Mauser (Part 1: Breakdown & Cleaning)

(Part 1 of 3) The Mauser family of rifles is often cited as the best bolt action rifle ever produced. This specific Mauser was produced by Zastava in Yugoslavia most likely during the early to mid 60s. Based on the condition of the rifle, it was definitely never carried and probably never fired. I received it saturated in cosmoline resulting in this full break down and cleaning!
USE MINERAL SPIRITS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA AND WEAR PROPER PPE.
