The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

You can mail order JB paste from Brownells or Midway... The local Walmart here has the Remington 40-X bore cleaner on the shelf. It's decent for a deep cleaner. Not really a paste, but more like Turtle wax liquid polishing compound - thick but pourable. Plus I could walk out the door with it in my ...

Well, since you've been found out you may as well give up. Send the rifle to me and I'll dispose of it for you. ;)

The Russians keep the memory of the Great Patriotic War alive with movies like this. :) Really this differs little - aside from production by the state rather than Hollywood - from the "John Wayne" genre movies we had. And in reality the poor farm boy who carried my rifle differed very li...

What is wrong with you guys? The reason there's no "cure" for Mosinitis is because it isn't a disease.

Asking how to cure Mosinitus is like asking the Dali Lama how to cure enlightenment. It's a nonsense question.

This *IS* the life.

I have to wonder, since the whole world has ridden on our backs for the past few years, just who they think is going to pay for things once we're finally broken. The "miracle" of socialized medicine in Europe only works because of the research dollars and ultimate payments from the America...

Double post.

Growing up in the country we thought the rifle rack in the back of the pickup was for rifles, not decoration. And it wasn't unusual to drive to high school with one hanging in the rack. And you didn't worry about anyone stealing it. God we've lost a lot. Maybe a good zombie apocalypse wouldn't hurt....

Here is Lorger's solution.

...I'm taking my time with the cleaning as this is the first time I have had a milsurp of any kind and I want to make sure it is in really good shape before firing it. Inside the cleaning kit there is nothing that looks like a modern bore brush. Are brushes threaded for the Mosin cleaning rod avail...

.... Junk Yard Dog usually recommends a 20ga. shotgun brush on a section of cleaning rod chucked into a power drill and a bit of 0000 steel wool wrapped around it to clean the chamber. Dip it in some hoppes or whatever cleaner you use. Be careful not to get to over zealous. This was the advice I to...

If you catch the PPU on sales at Cabelas in the bulk package it isn't terrible. Nowhere nearly as cheap as MilSurp, but it's lead core soft point and reloadable brass. Plus I have been doing some meticulous note keeping about accuracy of preloaded rounds, and so far the PPU is winning. Mind you I ha...

Soviets, Poles, East Germans, and Albanians all used PU scopes painted various shades of green on everything from PU snipers to artillery pieces during the Communist era. That particular scope, however, is a fake with bogus WW2 manufacturers markings and even a fake post-war refurb marking. I think...

Maybe thats part of our problem!

I think a few members have made their own from parts kits, I recall something about it from several years back. There are a few places that sell the tools to make some fine ones. But the tools aren't necessary. They just help. You really can use a few piece of flat iron and angle iron plus some bol...
