Keepshooting 91/30's (Pic Thread)

[JSW]

for windage drift the front sight-should have markings on it.

 

[Mr_Wolf]

Picked up my 2 today! Unfortunately I won't get a chance to clean them until this Thursday.

I ended up with a 1942 & 1943 Izzy's.

 

[CanDoEZ]

The pickings were slim today, but I picked up a 1943 round receiver shooter with some nice woodgrain, looking forward to when the next batch comes in. Just finished stage one of the de-cosmo process with the steam cleaner.

Not C&R, but also picked up a sweet MIL-SPEC Govt Contract Mossberg 500 as pictured. It even has a UID marking! Call it a future C&R!

Dude... just thought of this... you didn't mean this Vera did you?

Unfortunately no, I do not watch Firefly. Yet.

Also, I managed to clean MY Vera off this afternoon at Zim's place with some mineral spirits and tender lovin'. She's in great shape now, and I'm glad that I got to know her better. Now to just shoot her...

 

[Zim]

Agh, remind me next time you're over, I completely forgot we were supposed to watch it today ('Course the game being on didn't help)

I managed to get my metal parts cosmo-free with mineral spirits too. Still need to build the oven for the furniture, but, at least wiping it down with a dry cloth got most of the gunk off.

She's a '42 Izhevsk, condition near as perfect as it could be for a gun this old. Bump or two on the stock and a tiny spot of old rust on the receiver, otherwise more or less spotless.

Anyways, pics as promised (would have gotten one of the stamp on the receiver too, but the camera battery died just as I was about to take it):

Just got back into town today...

Mine is a 1933 Izzy, Hex Receiver. Still all greased up.

I'll try to figure out how to take it apart later next week...

Got my brother to take a beter pic than I could:

 

[The3clipser]

Anyone shoot theirs yet?

 

[tdt91]

yep. snapsotMD, bdr2012 and I took ours out for a shoot on Tuesday. As usaual they shoot about 12-16" high. We were hitting paper at 100 yards standing up with body leaning against the bench. I'm going to lower the poi by raising the front post with a piece if insulation from 12 gauge romex

 

[05dodgedaytona]

Those are some nice mosin's. Maybe I can get in on the next batch he gets in.

 

[Mr_Wolf]

Anyone shoot theirs yet?

I ran 10 rounds through mine yesterday, and it shot great! Can't wait for a decent day to try it.

1943 Izzy

Good idea. I think I have some 12 gauge wire in the shop.

Something that I found works pretty well and easy is to take heat shrink and put it around the front sight post. Make it a little long and then trim it at the range. If you trim too much, just cut it off and try again.

There is this write up on the Mosin front sights. I was gonna do this just to try it so i ordered a Mosin off Southern ohio gun before Keepshooting posted he was getting some. but wouldnt ya know it when my Mosin showed up, it was a blade front sight.lol

[Old Salty Dog]

Still looking for bayonet 7046.
I have bayo 5239

 

[eddiek2000]

Finally got it cleaned up. While removing the cosmo, I damaged the original finish. Ended up using Danish oil (cherry tint), BLO, and my special BLO/Beeswax mix.

Came out really AWESOME!!!

 

[tdt91]

yep, that looks nice

 

[knockretard]

so where are you guys getting these from?? Does keepshooting.com have a store I can visit??

I checked their website and found a contact of BTP ARMS in Waldorf, I mapquested the address and still have no clue where it is. Myself and a buddy are interested in picking a couple of these bad boys up.
