Strip the rifle down and boil the metal parts in a pot of water. The cosmoline will melt and float to the top and your parts will be fine.

For the wood stock, wrap it well in newspaper or paper towels and then put the entire thing in a black garbage bag. Put the garbage bag in strong sunlight for a few hours. The paper will wick the oil out but you may have to change dressings a few times to get all of the oil.
