| Bullet Maintenance !!  | And as it is the first cleaning, do yourself a favor and remove and clean the extractor, and corresponding recess.

I've also laid all my guns out on our bed just to admire them. Told my wife it was to allow them to get to know each other more and to converse back and forth. She told me I was "NUTS!". What could I say? I just agreed.  | |

| Mosins make great pets. You have to keep an eye on em as they tend to multiply. And when they do your bank account gets lighter. Weird huh? |

| Howdy, Wow, I lucked out in finding this forum. I just got my first M91/30, and another one appeared about a week later!! Then after about another week an M44 showed up. (all while the wife was at work)....Darn good lookin rifles so why just stop at one when you can have three.( For less than $300.00) There is already a lot of good information just on this one thread. Thanks.. Now for the cleaning. I wouldn't have even thought about the stock..I just did the basics, but now I know there is a lot more to do. Thanks Again! |

| You are missing the M38 and the Finn M39 for the basic set. Next are all Tula's, and hex receiver, then laminated stock versions, and then... a 91/30 sniper (even the "arsenaled" version)... Then... bankruptcy.  |

| Go to the dollar store and get yourself some disposable aluminum pans. I've found the loaf pans are the best size for this kind of thing, but you will need one turkey roasting pan as well. Fill two of them halfway with cosmoline. ?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's trying to get it off and he needs to fill a pan with it>? WTF LOL |

The idea is to keep from catching hell from the wife or girlfriend for making a big mess. It also keeps you from losing parts. You might also want to buy a pack of the square brownie pans; those are good for putting cleaned parts in. The different shape of the pan will help you mentally focus on where you are in the stripping/cleaning/reassembly process, too. The turkey pan is also convenient if you elect to use boiling water to melt the cosmoline out of the barrel. You don't want that going down your sink to resolidify and require treatment with Liquid Plumbr or something similar. One suggestion I found on another forum is to use Simichrome metal polish which is safe to use on steel to polish the bolt body, bolt head and bolt before you lube and reassemble the bolt. It's not just for pretty, though a shiny Mosin bolt does look like a piece of modern sculpture. Done properly, it smooths out the action. You know as well as I do that the quality of the machining in Mosins varies substantially depending on the factory, country of origin and the year made. Polishing the moving parts can make a big difference in how easy it is to cycle the action. | |
