There is no such thing as "enough" ammo. Haha I've prolly got over 15k rounds of mixed ammo.

Well, they had "ok" prices when the price of ammo was getting retarded, and when it was getting retarded, I really did have enough of everything, so I wanted to wait for it to settle

i need it for my judge

Washington state legislature is due to vote on HBC 1561 (SBR legalization) of course with the BATFE's $200 tax stamp (legal extortion..lol) WA will probably add their own additional "sin tax" on top of that.. It is after all what this wonderful state is good at. It does sound promising though, since that's how we got suppressors legalized too. However given the climate in our state government (liberal/non pro 2A) im still skeptical. It goes to the house on the 28th for those Washingtonians interested, and those wishing to put a lil political pressure on our elected officials.

My guess is use the poly lowers on 22lr based uppers. That might help.

Funny, but I heard the same thing.

tvfreakazoid · 02-23-2014, 08:18 PM

So I finally bought a mosin nagant m44. I didn't want to buy one at first because of the corrosive ammo that mainly people use. It seems like a pain to use cause every time u shoot with it u have to clean quickly.
And non corrosive ammo is pretty expensive.

I also bought another SKS. A Chinese version.
That damn SKS is caked in comoline. My m44 is not as bad but I never had to deal with cleaning cosmoline off.

Hose it down with Windex at the range then oil when you get home, enjoy the cheap ammo!

tvfreakazoid · 02-26-2014, 04:52 PM

I've read that u can use windex or the purple simple green bit not the green version.
Anyone know why?

If I use windex I assume I would need to spray the chamber, down the barrel and all around the inside chamber area and probably the magwell I assume.

Instead of oil I rather use froglube. Personal preference.

Any suggestions on how to get all that Cosmo off on the SKS?

Strip the rifle down and boil the metal parts in a pot of water. The cosmoline will melt and float to the top and your parts will be fine.

For the wood stock, wrap it well in newspaper or paper towels and then put the entire thing in a black garbage bag. Put the garbage bag in strong sunlight for a few hours. The paper will wick the oil out but you may have to change dressings a few times to get all of the oil.

I thought about putting in boiling water but that will be a challenge to find a tall enough pot for the barrel.
I was thinking about wrapping it up and c how well that would work taking off the cosmoline off the metal parts

I've heard the same technique for the wood and wrapping it with newspaper, then putting it in a bag outside.

SR71 · 02-28-2014, 09:51 PM

That's what I did then I put in the trunk of a car that I have that sits out side 24/7. I ended up changing out the wrap 3 times think before getting almost all of it out of the wood. Btw put a but pad on the gun because it will sweat out more when you go to the range the first few time from the heat against your shoulder.
