had to go with the "who cares" I can't stay up that late during the week anyway. Even if I could I doubt I would be tuning into talk tv

so does anyone have first hand experience with this, or is it all just second and third hand info? I am thinking my 91/30 was road hard and put away wet, but it all cleaned up in the end after I bought it.

Where would they have gotten Windex at back in them days? I bet it does not mattter much. I am going to find out, LOL

That is the point I guess. When I bought it the bore looked like hell. It looks near new now. I am not so sure that cleaning them is "that" important. The bolt face is worn though. But it did not hurt it any really. It still safely and accurately shoots. What I am wondering is this, exactly how harmful is corrosive ammo. I am thinking not as bad as it gets talked up.

Now I am a damn yankee

I am seriously considering not cleaning my 91/30 the next time I shoot it. I am very curious as to how fast degradation of the bore and bolt face may begin. Curious enough to chance a $78 rifle. Shoot it Saturday and again Sunday. Let it go for a week then clean it. I wonder if it will look like oatmeal?

Capy we all shoot surplus ammo out of our Mosins. I do not know anyone that has ever had a problem with it. Especially if you clean within a day. I have always used some sort of blue collored window cleaner, cheapest is preferable. I don't care if it is the water or the ammonia that works. There are testimony to using both here on this website. But for me it is easier to use the window cleaner. I keep a 50ml bottle full of the stuff in my cleaning kit, seems to last a long time. None of my surplus type rifles are any worse the wear for shooting corrosive ammo. A couple of patches soaked in windex, a couple of dry patches, then clean like any other rifle. I also put some windex on the bolt too. Then oil/grease it up.

It was 15.99 in Cincinnati. I remember it used to be about 7 bucks. Crap showing my age again

I thought it was the water, lots of people use soap and water for the same effect.

yep CLP will work. Never tried the collector oil, but I will be on the lookout for it to use on the safe queens. I would be leary of letting anyone take it apart, surely there will be marks from that process. Are any of the screws boogered up already?

I would not mess with it. Any restorative work done to it will decrease its value. I would oil what I can reach, wipe the gun down good and leave it alone.

it gives me hope

I dunno what your line of work is, maybe that has bearing. But I am not being an armed guard in buddies bar. If I need to have a gun to go somehwere I don't go. Just saying

Prime Rib is roasted, not cut into steaks and grilled. Its cut after it is cooked. Ribeyes are cut before grilling. I think Ribeye is what you mean/want. Any butcher shop should be able to supply exactly what you want. I dunno I might be all wrong?

there are a few of them made in the Phillippines, i even think the ones made in Turkey are made in the Phillippines.

possession of the 3 wolf shirt, 3 wolf knife, and centurion helmet, by any one individual is expressly forbidden by law. The awesomeness of that combination is too much for any one person to have.

Personally I hope Revis rips Manning's right arm off and beats him over the head with it.

too far, if it involves a hotel stay, (yuck) or more than 6 hours driving, it is too far. But thanks for the heads up anyway.

sounds like unenforcable crappola to me. Just because someone asks you to do something, you are not compelled to follow along with it.

that is an awesome idea, then I could go.

the 3 wolf shirt is only trumped by a three wolf shirt and a centurian helmet

Anybody but the Colt's

aha, always the bottom line
