Did you guys watch this video? What a crock of bull. clean the corrosive salts with boiling water?
I'm sure that the soldiers in the field, after a firefight, put boiling water down the barrel after shooting. Not only that but boiling water overspill will damage the finish you just spent 8 hours working on.
Man, why would he post that with the volume so low? I couldn't hear a damn thing he was mumbling, and I had headphones on. Turned it off, wasn't wasting my time.
Ha! his shirt says "PEDO". It is supposed to say "PEDRO" like from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. PEDO means "fart" in spanish!! it also means "EXTREMELY drunk" but I like fart better.
Gave me a chuckle as well. I have a hard time believing that the typical Russian soldier in combat would do much more than run a couple patches down the barrel. I also bet that THAT was not done as regularly as should be. Especially in places like Stalingrad. I would venture a guess that actual battlefield pick ups would have pretty rough bores.
I will have to find the article on what kinda conditions the russians used in combat to clean there rifles . they took all the rifles and bolts apart and threw them in a big container of boiling water whenever there was a lull in the fiting and then ivan took a bolt out and oiled it an put it back in the rifle so very few battle field pick ups were matching ..The matching numbers thing is a refurbish thing to make the american collectors buy:09:
