Mhmm. In Ukraine, many farmers keep their ammunition out in the field where perfect moist, dirty conditions exist for the preservation of near 80 year old corrosive ammunition, should the need ever arise to use it. In the case of use, rounds are not to be washed or wiped clean, but merely loaded and shot. Warning: Mosin MUST be oiled, or it will rust shut tighter than Jean Cretien's mouth after 40 years.
