Man. I now officially hate cosmoline. I did before, other than it preserving things, it’s the devil’s snot.
Got a pair of surplus Yugo mags. Took probably 30lbs of force to pry them apart because they were stuck together with cosmoline. Took an hour with a heat gun, paper towels and hoppes #9 to get them completely cleaned up. One had 2oz of cosmoline in the mag body. Had to shove the follower really hard even after heating to get it to push out.
Yuck. Never had more than a light coating of the stuff on any surplus gun or mag. These looked like they’d been dipped and left in the vat to cool and then chipped out.
