Don't trust those sites that say its non-corrosive

I got 2 tins full, they said it was non-corrosive...my eye!

Just bring a little bottle of 1/2 and 1/2 Windex/water and swab the bore and the bolt face when done and you should be ok

Keep an eye on it for the next few days...the corrosive salts from the primers make rust pop up FAST!

I also recommend he get the recoil pad...I can shoot about 10 rounds before "I'm feeling it!"

P.S. Have him field strip it...I guarantee there will be cosmoline caked up on it somewhere under the wood...and if he gets the "sticky bolt" syndrome have him take a .410 bore brush and some hot soapy water and the reciever sans wood in a pail, then have him twirl the brass bore brush in the chamber area for a about 10-15 min and get the goop that is in the chamber out (kinda like polishing it up)...also feel for burrs in the chamber/throat area, if there are burrs they need to be GENTLY polished out with some ultra fine (400+) sandpaper.

I got mine from J&G Sales http://www.jgsales.com/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; a while back for that and I don't think they are getting any cheaper. At least, I haven't seen them cheaper anywhere else in a long time.

Okay thanks. I'll contact a couple of FFL's and see what I can find... I'd really like M44's but I can't find any at the major online stores, only M91's.

My buddy in Sealy is a FFL..he is the one that got my lot of Mosins shipped to me (I believe he will have the firearm shipped for $15-20) {PM me]


I recommend he get the 1" rubber buttpad and find some clips for loading...also remind him that Mosin ammo is corrosive and it is IMPERATIVE to wipe the bore and bolt face down within 15-30 min of shooting or the moisture of TX and the corrosive salts will rapidly turn the barrel into a fuzzy tube (I found out the hard way!!! I cleaned it but good grief it took 5x the effort to clean it up after it rusted than it would have just running 3x patches of water/windex/ammonia/Hoppes 9, 3x dry, 3x then oiled)

I have a friend of mine selling his Mossberg .30-06 w/ scope for $275

If he is interested PM me
