I was forcing myself to say the rifle chant
"this is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine. my rifle is my friend, even though he poops cosmoline on me every time I squeeze the trigger". I had to change the stock, boil the small parts and thoroughly clean probably half a dozen times before I got all the cosmo out of mine.

mine was really rough. rotten and shrunken stock, less than 60% metal finish remaining, no cleaning kit. I made mine into a poor man's evil black rifle. if you care to read the story here's the last thread I made on it.
