Hows it coming along?

havent had much time to work on it due to stuff at work and here at home keeping me busy, i also havent found a place that can do the sand blasting for a decent amount, so i am probably going to wait until after christmas to do more

I miss Russian Surp...Im glad I got some Mosins back in the day

I bought one of those and it sucked.   Just didn't seem to feed well.   I bought this one instead and it works pretty decently.

Couldn't tell you exactly.   I only use soda in mine because I use it for aluminum silencer cleaning.  

This is from the description.  

• Hopper takes most abrasives: steel grit, glass beads, pecan shells and more

[No_0ne]

The problem with all of these cheap blasters is the nozzle and inserts they use.  Any media which is even close to aggressive will wear the inserts out quickly, sometimes in minutes.  Be prepared to either buy a lot of spares, or look at better blast systems with hardier nozzle materials.

[owejia]

Carbide or ceramic were the nozzles of choice in my machine shop, carbide media would etch aluminum shoe sole molds as that was the look they wanted, probably too aggressive for gun parts.

I guess Ivan forgot to pee down the barrel after using corrosive ammo.

Looks like he didn't understand the directions so he just peed on the whole rifle . Use evaporust to soak it in , you can buy it at tractor supply . Won't be any bluing left but it doesn't look like there would be much anyway .  Did you ask at the local monument place . The one by Springhill Cemetery in Nashville used to do Harley frames for me for not too much , cheaper than stripper and the car wash .

I don't know . . . car wash strippers can be pretty cheap.

Maybe, if you don’t count drinks.

Does anybody know if they will ever import any more Mosins?

I wouldn’t count on it.  Some may trickle in from time to time and those importers that might have been sitting on a hoard will turn some loose, but the days of $100 Mosins are long gone.

You gotta strike while the iron is hot. I picked up a few cheap, and seriously considered buying a crate of them when they were available. The wife did not share my enthusiasm so I didn’t go through with it.

Updating a long-dead thread, but there actually have been some Mosins imported this year.  One of Finland's biggest collectors recently started liquidating at least part of his collection (rumored to number 20k rifles), Century brought in a bunch of M28's and M28/30's which have been gradually making their way to distributors this summer.  Anyone who's still looking for the proverbial $100 Mosin will be disappointed though, most of these are selling quickly at $800 and up ...

[ironsniper1]

for anyone wanting to know or care at all the mosin is still in the box untouched lol

[bubba123]

looks like it’ll be a decent project gun. in the sense it’ll take forever to clean and get working

Some motivation....

On that second channel, guy has a formula somewhere for homemade rust remover that is apparently just as good as Evapo-Rust and far cheaper.  He's also sometimes not that bright, so don't watch his recent Mosin "restoration" where he removes the spliced on piece of the stock, lol.
