At the Md Antique Military Arms show last weekend and found a 1896 Krag rifle in light cosmoline. Unusual to find a krag like this. It was in bad shape, a dark sticky stock, nasty bore, bolt so gummy it hardly would move but it was all there and the price was right so I took a chance. When I got home I tore it down and removed the cosmoline from everything steel and washed the stock in simple green and then a 1/2 terpentine and 1/2 BLO mix. What a difference!
