Every couple of days take the stock out, wipe off the cosmoline, wrap it in another towel and back in the garbage bag, and back in the sun. PS A way to get cosmoline out of the stock is to wrap the stock in a towel, put it in a black garage bag, and set it on your car's dashboard in the sun. And if it is covered in cosmoline you have to disassemble it to get all the grease out. But if you want to know if your rifle is all original, you have to do more then just field strip it. They don't have to disassembled to be cleaned anyway, and you can document the marks without taking them apart.

As for the M1917, I'm not aware that any factory issued rifles come with staked screws (although I would be interested if that is so), but front sights and rear sights have staked parts and should not be disassembled.

But if you want to disassemble most bolt action rifles, there are videos and instructions all over the internet. I have a gunsmith friend who makes a lot of money from people who decided to go all out to disassemble and clean a firearm and couldn't get it back together. If you don't feel comfortable taking apart a bolt action rifle, don't try it. In my 50 years of collecting I have seen more weapons damaged by disassembly and cleaning than any other single reason. Unless there is some overriding reason to take it apart, I generally dont do any more than field strip. Disassembling one of these would definitely devalue it. Like Japanese Arisakas, some 1917s have some of the screws staked at the factory.
