Clark: excellent suggestions, much obliged; unfortunately, the rate at which I have projects crop up is probably somewhere around 1x/year Nevertheless, it's starting to look like I'm going to have to take the thing back, so I'll keep your input in mind.

Netgunsmithdotcom: I try as hard as the next guy to shield the thing from chaos, but sure, that's entirely possible. It wouldn't change my feelings about the shop. While I appreciate the suggestions/insight, I really do not have the time or resources to dedicate to tackling this myself. I'll...

I explicitly requested a bore sight, and they claimed it had been done. I'm not as avid a shooter as probably most are at these forums so, admittedly, I don't specifically know what can be expected from a bore sight. At the range, over the course of about 40 rounds, I did not hit *anywhere* on...

Help locating a reputable gunsmith I haven't visited here in some time, so if this type of solicitation is prohibited, I apologize and will not be offended if my post gets removed by the moderators. There's a bit of a story behind my motivation here, so I'll flesh it out first in order to...

Great, thanks!

Any insight on the VCI sock?

Ok guys, I'm definitely buying some Corrosion-X since it's fairly cheap, and while I was looking into the gun socks and the VCI emitter discs (which are way too expensive by the way), I stumbled across this: "4 - Pk. Beretta VCI Gun Socks"...

great, thanks a lot everyone, will look into all this stuff got taken out by the flu today

I'm positive it wasn't already there, yes. What's a silicone sock? Thanks for all your ideas btw guys.

how viscous is corrosion-x? where can i buy online?

Yes, I oiled the metal parts after cleaning the cosmo I did fire corrosive ammo through it, but I already knew about the Windex trick and I sprayed some through it immediately afterwards They aren't inside anything. I don't have a safe. They were leaning up against the wall in my closet.

I cleaned my Mosin-Nagant of cosmoline about a 3 weeks ago and have been keeping it indoors, however I took it out the other night for some compare & contrast (my cousin bought one), and noticed some light rusting at the base of the bolt handle, as well as around the collar slots. Given, I...

That Sam's Club one looks nice, too bad I'm not a member. And I don't really care about out past 100 yds right now. Like I said, that's the farthest I can shoot right now anyways.

I went ahead and ordered the $50 Barska, I'll let you guys know how it is. Thanks!

I understand what you guys are saying for sure, but higher price does not always imply higher quality. And yeah I said cheap and good, not cheap and great. You can get things for a cheap price that are also good, I do it all the time. They might not be great or exceptional, but I define good...
