The cosmo was just cleaned from the metal components of both Yugo M59 SKS rifles (firing pin channels also). With an Enfield from which a bit seeps on hot days (mostly the handguard), it's nothing to wiping it off with a Kleenex.

Why not leave most of it in the wood of these SKS, in order to protect them a bit from sweat on a hot day, tiny traces of Rem Oil or Hilco when the tiny spray tubes allow unseen bits of residue to go onto undesired surfaces?
