So I got my first .30 cal rifle a few days ago. It is a Mosin Nagant 91/30 Hex receiver with matching bayonet from the Izhevsk arsenal (triangle arrow mark). Got it at $115 with sling, kit and ammo pack. All I've done ATM is clean off the cosmoline that was on the receiver, bolt, barrel and stock. Checked it out, crown is nice and shiny, no counter-boring or anything, receiver dates at 1929. Bolt is VERY smooth. Need to get it down to the range soon....
So, I have some serious questions : Got a box of corrosive mil-surp, guy who sold it said to use windex w/ ammonia D and spray it down barrel, and then send a swab down the barrel, is this proper to do? I plan to take everything apart after shooting it and cleaning the cosmoline off the internals, whats the definite places I should be sure to clean, and should I just wipe it off or use something else as well? I plan to do a Bubba free accurization, just bedding the reciever and sanding the inside of the stock to eliminate pressure points, anything I should know here?
