My new Mosin 91/30

The use of surplus ammo is not so bad. Imported part is to clean your rifle. Same as with any ammo anyway.

Guess I lucked out though I went for the $130 Mosin. I can't see any pitting and the rifling is really good. I still have to get crud out. A friend of mine uses oven cleaner so maybe i will give that a try? I think i will stay away from the surplus ammo and get some PRVI or S&B so I can reload. Seeing as the bore is so nice it should shoot cast bullets and I have a Lee .312 mold that should work well.

Well, I used some bore solvent, let it sit, then scrubbed with a .30 cal brush for at least 10-15 passes, then wrapped a patch around the brass brush and pushed it through a couple times. Then went to a jag and patches, then oiled. Patches were coming out cleaner and cleaner, but never white. I think the bore looks a little brighter and cleaner. What do y'all think?

And the chamber, can you guys see if there's junk in there that will cause sticky bolt?

Holy crap, I just adjusted my Mosin trigger and it's sooooooo good now. I just bent the sear spring at the mid point and voila, the trigger is amazing! My gun didn't have very much creep, but I can pull the trigger with my pinky now! (my primitive, qualitative tension gauge). I was going to shim and polish, but I don't think I need to, it's almost as close to my K31 now without the 2 stage trigger! So happy! :) Merry Xmas btw :p
