So today was the day, I went to Big-5 and picked up a beautiful Mosin M44. I walked in and handled two of them found that one had a MUCH nicer stock than the other. So I told the guy ok I will take this one, he then proceded to get me a different one out of the back room. I looked at it and he told me that I could not have the display model. I asked for a manager the manager said "If the man wants a display model give him the display model". So I got the one that was much nicer looking.
First I found that there is very little cosmoline left on it, I think this might be because it was the display one but I found a few spots of it but not the "slathering" I was expecting. However the oil bottle and sling did have a LOT of cosmo on them, but I can take care of that.
Second, I was a little ticked that they did not have any 54r ammo, but thats fine I am planning on ordering online.
So then I went to buy a .30cal cleaning brush and found that they had a good price on boresnakes, so I got one of those instead.
I cant wait until I get to take this one out the woods.
