No one posted that M968 I missed out on! Who ever snagged it post pictures so I can torture myself for not having the money to buy it!

Doubt it ha! But it would make sense, dry air. My rifle had never been cleaned or oiled since purchased, and it was full of gritty similar colored crap to this. Maybe I'm on glue but I know my gun never saw sand.
The Peruvian M1891 I picked up, as received.
The bolt is mis-matched, but that is apparently the norm with these peruvians as they didn't bother to keep the bolts matched when they were refurbished with Lange sights. Gun is VERY dirty. A fair bit of rust under the handguard, but nothing that will be an issue. Bore is like new. Cleaning rod bent up bad, I'll have to fix it. Some cracking in the toe of the stock I'll glue before it gets worse.
In all though, not a bad find with a nice intact crest. Should clean up well and shoot well also.

Well look very decent, a good cleaning and some oil would make it quite nice.The Peruvian M1891 I picked up, as received.

Added to the list of ailments, a very bent trigger which I've now straightened without breaking it (thankfully), and a broken wire tie-down on the handguard I'll have to replace. It will still clean up well, but this gun is turning into more of a restoration than a simple wipe-down...

Just arrived yesterday but gave her a quick rubdown this morning and a few Q-tips...I think she's clean up nice in the end.
