This poor weapon has seen better days.

Ok, here's the first mosin I ever bought, I'm thinking Izzy, '45.

It was having a nasty sticky bolt and swollen/split shell casings issue, until I probed it with a borescope.

I shant describe the nastiness I found in there, lol.

It was gross.

As I post this, the barrel and chamber are happily taking a bath in a pot of boiling water, scrub a dub dub.

Yeah, TONS of cosmoline have been coming out of it.

Next is the brake cleaner, WD-40, then LOTS of CLP, after some more surface rust removal and cosmoline removal
