Question? There was a question?

I feel sorry for new people who first read these threads from the middle. Probably think we are a bunch of mental weirdos.
But in reality, it's just the Mosinitis talking!!!!!!

I could say it a thousand times....it is the pleasant insanity of the forum that first drew me in.

DarkFatality · 03-15-2008, 08:27 PM

i Kept posting it but it never showed.

The questions are:

What do i need to clean a mosin nagant?

Where can i get it?

What ammo should be used?

Where can i get it?

texnmidwest · 03-15-2008, 08:59 PM

What do you need to clean a mosin.

Basic cleaning kit. For initial cleaning mineral spirits cleans it up well.

After shooting immediately spray out with Windex followed by WD 40 and clean with Hoppe's number 9.

Surplus ammo shoots well but is corrosive that is why the windex is a range necessity. Good place to get surplus ammo is from AIM or J&G.

rondog you are a person of few words... but well said.

DF, Tex's methods are simple and work. That said if you are talking about the first cleaning:

My method:
1. Tear down to barrel, bolt, stock, buttplate, rear sight, and trigger group.

2. Put the buttplate, rear sight with spring, bolt, and trigger group in an aluminum pan with enough mineral spirits to cover parts use a 2" utility paint brush (cheapie) to pre clean, and let set. finsih cleaning and lubing these parts when you are waiting for the barrel degreaser to work.

3. Get a 12ga brass cleaning brush (and a .38 brush for later) attached to a short cleaning rod and inserted in a power drill (prefereabley cordless).

4. Boil some water, and with the barrel assembly, muzzle down, in a 1 gallon bucket, slowly pour about a measuring cup of boiling water into the breach. Use a hot pad or glove to hold the tang and the measuring cup.
This will heat the barrel to about 180 degrees and pre soften any old cosmolene. Using Dawn Power Desolver (usually at Wal-Mart) spray about 5 or 6 shots into the breech, and then give it a few turns with the 12ga brush to distribute the cleaner.

Let set for about 15-20 minutes, boil some more water wet the 12ga brush and scrub the heck out of it for a minute or so. Now put the .38 brush on to clean the bullet neck area. Try not to bottom out the brushes.
Finish by slowly pouring boiling water down the breech and scubbing briefly with the brushes a couple of times. Then pour another whole cup of boiling water to final rinse.
It may sound difficult, but using brake cleaner or mineral spirits, with the same brushing, does not always get rid of 50 year old cosmolene, and are nasty to use. By pre heating the barrel (and it will stay hot for quite a while) that old cosmolene softens up nicely.

Dawn Power Desolver also strips and cleans the stock. Spray it on. Brush it in (use a decent hand held scrub brush). let set for 20 minutes. Scrub and rinse in warm water. Repeat if necessary. Let dry for 48 hours before sanding and finishing. Warning! if you like the stock the way it is don't use this step. It will strip the stock to bare wood.

AMMO:
Bulgarian heavy ball is a good consistant bang-for-the-buck MilSurp ammo at AIM and J&G, and they are brass cased for easy bolt cycling. But there is some intersting Russian 1980's, and Hungarian at AIM as well.

AIM 7.62x54R 7.62x54R

7.62x54R

For modern non-corrosive rounds Brown Bear is very nice.

None of these are reloadable and most are steel cased. For reloadable ammo Winchester, Igman, Wolf Gold, Sellier & Bellot, are getting expensive but the brass is pretty decent. Norma is very expensive but from what I hear the brass is a cut above

Hope this helps.

Now back to being off-topic (we'll come back when you need us).
