The Mosin that I got from Mdeng performed well today. The best shot group that I did was about a half inch 3 shot cluster at 50 yards, centered on the bullseye. After the rifle got hot, the group started spreading out to about 1.2"... It could also due to shooter error.

Also, I guess..I'll be washing my guns today... Corrosive ammo

Time for some advil and an ice pack.

Next weekend is 22LR day. The highlight will be 22LR pistols- 100 yard targets. Try not to consume too much caffeine.

Sure... No problem.. As long as you can live with the Crystal lite ( drink mix) red-orange stain that I used ( seriously).

Anyways.. heres what I did:

Took off all metal parts and soaked it in diesel fuel.
Wrapped the stock on old rags,Black trash bag and left it in the trunk of may car for a day to soften the cosmoline.
Washed the stock with HOT water and dishwashing soap.
For dings.. cover the ding with a wet rag. use a clothes iron to raise up low spots.
Let the stock dry.
In an open/ well ventilated area.. Use a rag saturated with acetone to get all the old finish off. Work it in brass and steel fittings. This also dissolves the cosmoline.
Smoothen with fine sandpaper. wipe again with acetone.
Stain with an alcohol based wood stain. ( i used crystal lite powder, mixed in with vodka) Crazyal and I consumed the leftovers.
Using a paper towel, apply multiple layers of tung oil. Let the coats dry in between applications. ( 15 minute intervals) Let dry..
Polish with automotive wax.

ok.. if i remember. lol.. very hesitant on anything serious with it.. it has more marking than the other one i had refinished.

btw.. what did you use to reblue? was at dicks sporting goods yesterday.. they have super blue and regular by birchwood.

jmira · Jul 9, 2011

I spent the last hour cleaning mine... first I flushed it with warm water... then blew it out with degreaser and sprayed compressed air to get it dry.. then dumped it into a small tub of hoppes to soak.. all small parts were removed and soaked.. all large parts were coated / cleaned .. I left it all in the sun for a bit, went for a swim - came back and wiped it down / reassembled.

it looks new!

update on the Mosin.

Polished all the locking lugs, with fine sandpaper.Polished the lugs with polishing compound. Stone polished the sear engagement surfaces as well as the " leaf" trigger spring.

This has cured the sticky bolt( the bolt can now be unlocked with one finger and minimal effort) and dropped the trigger pull to about 6 lbs. It also minimized trigger creep to a minimum. The better trigger should result in better accuracy. Not bad for a couple of hours work.

I cant wait to shoot it this weekend.

Come one scar. Its russian rifle not mary poppin. LOL

J/k. I got bored yesterday and redid the finish on the ex-dragoon. Found minor pitting on the outside of the barrel.
