I asked you guys advice a few weeks back about purchasing a Mosin Nagant and got some great feedback. Because of you guys I decided to start the process of getting my C&R license. BUT, earlier today we had a 91/30 come out for sale at my store and I'm pretty sure my boss is going to let me get it for like $60.00 I'm planning on getting it just to have something cheap to play around with until I find out about my C&R (and hopefully start some serious collecting)
My question is . . . the rifle in question is in pretty ruff shape and I was wondering if anyone had tips on rust removal? I ran a few wipes down the barrel a few mins ago and they are coming out nasty. There is minor rust damage in some spots on the side of the rifle but nothing too serious. The barrel seems to have taken the most damage over the years (I'm guessing the fellow that sold it to us was shooting the old Russian ammo and not cleaning the barrel very well if at all afterwards)
Good news is the cosmoline has already been taken care of
Thanks in advance guys
