What did you other MN owner's do to get rid of the cosmoline in your Mosin Nagants? I've heard everything from boiling water to sticking it in a trash bag in the sun. Also, is there any info on what sort of lubrication is needed for an MN, and where it should be placed and how much of it?

Like I've said before, I'm a total newb to all of this and I don't want to do anything to harm a piece of history like my new MN if I can avoid it

Ok, I did some digging around in the Russian Mosin Nagant page and I think I found a link to the original disassembly and cleaning page (LOTS of awesome info on here!)

UPDATE
Also found the headspace info.

Seriously, I'm not sure what's up with their site, and I'm not sure how I stumbled into this massive index page of information, but I'm not complaining either.

Between them and www.7.63x54R.net site, you can find out a LOT of info on these rifles

Tell me about it! That cleaning page alone is worth its weight in gold to me! Now I know exactly what I'm going to need to get this rifle in shape and ready to fire. The weekend can't come fast enough!
