Cosmoline

Well I finally scored the 1970 M-39 I'd been looking for. I found it at WGA for $325. That's on the high side for M-39's, but man was this thing worth it. It's a legal antique, with a receiver dating to 1897, but you would never know that looking at it. It's the first Mosin-Nagant I've ever seen that's really 100% in all respects. The stock is perfect, the bore mint and the blue mirror deep. It has a light layer of cosmoline on it now but I'll take some photos once I get that scrubbed off. If it shoots anything like it looks, $325 will be an incredible bargain. I'm going to put my Darrel scout mount and scope rig on it. This is one of the very last of the truly great war rifles of the 20th century.
Remind me, why do people buy Remchesters again?
