Cleaning Cosmoline From No.5 Rubber Buttpad?

[GeeRam]

Its a problem I'd like to have as I wish I could get hold of a NOS butt pad for a No.5.

An old mate of mine used to use the dishwasher to clean his engine parts when rebuilding his motorbike engines, much to his wife's annoyance.....maybe worth a try

APEX Gun Parts in the USA have 'loads' of 'new old stock' original No5 Butt rubbers.
The problem is that as we are in the UK we are not allowed to access their website as they haven't agreed to meet the GDPR privacy regulations.

Maybe if you ask nicely one of our US cousins could source for you ?

Solar power.

Wrap it in paper towels, place in a black trash bag, and leave on your dashboard while the car is outside.

After a couple hours check and the progress changing towels as needed.

I messaged my mate in California, and he sent a screen shot back confirming he had the right thing and he's now ordered one for me.
