I'm going to be liquidating my rifle collection very shortly. Items that have taken me years to find and collect. A good opportunity for all to find that item they've been looking for. Especially for misurp crazy dudes like me.

You know where they will be found.

In other news.....
I have a milsurp question.

I have a schuack load of that hungarian hvy ball 7.62X54R ammo and no Nagant. Now I know this stuff is corrosive.

Do I buy a minty nagant or do I buy a nagant with an already frosty bore?
How well does this stuff really clean up?
I still don't know of a sure fire way of neutralizing the corrosive effect of this ammo.
 
Selling everything? WHy?

Also, how do I get first look the for sale list? :)

Also, I've been using Hungarian heavy ball coorosive in my mosin, which has a minty bore. I've cleaned each time with boiling water and thebarrel is so far unchanged.
 
Windex is the perfect cleaner for corrosive ammo, for 2 reasons;

1) the water in the mixture dissolves the potassium chloride salts that cause corrosion
2) the ammonia in the mixture quickly corrodes any copper fouling left in the bore, helping to dislodge it

Spray/pour the windex into the barrel from the chamber end (use a funnel if necessary) until it pisses out the bore, run a couple patches down the bore (they'll come out black), follow up with clean water to rinse away the muck and more patches, and then a spray of WD-40 to displace the moisture for the ride home. A good cleaning & bore-brushing at home will get rid of any other crap, especially the loosened copper fouling. Bada-bing, bada-boom!
 
Everybody has their magic combination, but simple tapwater works great. Boiling water is nice because it works more strongly on the salts and evaporates away a bit.

If you want ammonia, Canadian Tire sells "Household Ammonia" that is much cheaper and more concentrated than Windex (and its no-name clones). I use the latter, and just soak a couple of patches in it, run them through one after the other, clean up the bolthead, run a dry patch in after, then clean as normal.
