Hey Guys,
I went to a gun show last weekend and picked up my first mosin-nagant 91/30 for $75.
I've been reading up on them and started cleaning this one up. I cleaned alot of junk off the stock with a mixture of equal parts of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits.
I started on the metal parts tonight. I found some pitting and rusting on the barrel. Here are some pics:
Its probably about a 1/16th of an inch deep I'm guessing. It's not too close to the receiver, so I'm thinking it would probably be safe to shoot.
What do you guys think?
