Has to be boiled or double boiled . There is a reason . I can't off the top of my head remember what it was but I'm sure some wood nutz will remind us .

So I am sitting here with my steamer and my blow dryer. Not too much crap to clean off. I probly didn't need to take it all apart but that's the fun of it.

Steamer & Blow dryer ?
I don't recall any of those methods in my Soviet small arms maintenance manuals
LOL
I was finally able to pick up the new member of the family.
It's a 1954 Tula from the IZH batch
The stock and handguard are not laminated.
I have not seen any electro-pencilled marks on any of the metal parts so far.
The stock has 2 crossed out serial numbers, so it is on its third rifle.
Overall I like the look of it quite a bit.

Boiled linseed oil dries faster. Just remember that rags with linseed oil on it can spontaneously combust. Put the rags in a sealed can or soak them with water.
Nice, Lin Speed oil is said to dry in 2-3 hrs.

I cant believe the condition of my ruski! I think that it was probably only test fired. There is no wear on this rifle! All numbers matching, basicly brand new when i think about the cold war era history with this rifle i feel a little guilty firing it... Oh well already put a few boxes thru it and at 100 yds its grouping 3-4" pretty good i think. Happy shooting to all
