Wally world Mosin fix

[D53]

What can I use from Wally world to polish/buff my Mosin 91/30 to get rid of the sticky bore? I am hitting the range tomorrow and really don't want to bring a deadblow with me. It was pretty much a last minute deal. I have watched the videos on youtube, but they all show gun polishing compounds. Thanks for any info.

Flitz it!

[D53]

hmm, I didnt know they carried flitz there. Pretty much just put some of that on the 12guage cotton swap and let my drill do the work for me, right?

The Wally Worlds out here carry it. And yes, just use it like you would Bore Brite with a bronze brush and a cloth over it.

I'm sure that mineral spirits ought to do something...

I honestly never even thought of that

I actually use Mineral Spirits on all of my recently aquired Milsurps. But I only sok the metal parts in that and then take Flits to stick bolts or other sticky mechanical parts.

Last time I did that, I was slapped with a divorce

may me too late but I just ran a patch every minute or so soaked in mineral spirits through mine three or four times to loosen everything up. Then hit it with a bronze brush attached to by drill. Silky smooth and no stickin'

Best thing you can get at WalMart for a Mosin with sticky-bolt syndrome is brass cased non lacquered ammo.

[rojocorsa]

Yeah.^^^


I've been fortunate in that I've been able to get brass cased x54R, and that my rifle was practically free of cosmo when I got it.

Cosmo doesn't really have anything to do with it.

Best data I've been able to find anywhere suggests that it's a function of chamber size plus ammunition type.

Steel cases aren't going to expand in quite the same way as brass cases will. So, if you have a looser chamber, and a casing that doesn't -quite- seal up as well, and the next round that you put in there has lacquer on it ... you have a problem.

One of my Mosins gets sticky-bolt very, very badly. Ever since I switched to using copper washed steel instead of lacquered steel, I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.
