How old are they?

Those are bad ass. Have you tried them?

Put some Rem-oil or wd40 on it. Something a little less aggressive than PB blaster.

I have a bunch of Yugoslav heavy ball brass-cased 7.62x54r ammo. The stuff looks brand new, but none of it is reloadable due to berdan priming. You know, back when you could get Berdan primers, (which I don't think if you can anymore). A guy came up with a way to deprime them with a wooden punch an...

It could be copper washed steel or brass. stick a magnet to the cases. The thing about reloading them if they are brass, they are Berdan primed. Regular boxer primers won't work.

Of the ones pictured, the Tula MO would be the hardest to find I think. Plus the MO refurbs seem to have been refurbed to a nicer level in my experience. Ive been collecting Mosins since 2008.

I would go for the Tula MO.

We will need some photos to have a chance.

Merry Christmas

Very cool.

I'd leave it as is.

We'll need to see pictures.

The before the tru oil pic is about the way it would have looked originally.

He got the paint off and it turned out great. His pics were lost in the recent forum outage.

You know, I don't do much (any) hunting for many years now but, when I was hunting, they counted the points on one side and that was the point count. Like above, it has 4 on each side would be a 4 pointer. I see these guys on TV calling the above a 8 pointers. What the Hell? What is correct now??? ...
