Nice save! Usually when bubba does something he goes all in and does a complete **** up of the rifle.

I believe the hand written 1.05 means $1.05? Crazy this stuff and similar was so low in price and plentiful back then.

 I've got  49 rounds of Finnish x53R, most of the lot is VPT and 1936 dated but dates range from 1935 to 1938. They are 1944 repacks and are on G.W.S stripper clips. I will get pics up as soon as possible, initial thoughts on these? I paid $3.00 each and bought all 3 and a stripper clip full that they had for a total of $9.00.
 Anybody else got any cool/rare x54R ammo?

    So I've done some things wrong in the mosin world, no I havent cut up any of them but looking back now I'm surprised my M91/30 isnt damaged or rusted out. I got it and 20 rounds of Brass cased '86 Albanian surplus for Christmas, I take it out to a friends to shoot it. You should know I didnt clean ANY of the cosmoline off the rifle, at the 3rd round the bolt was locked up, the 4th round didnt have any powder and was just primer. If the bullet wouldve gone another 1/4 inch into the barrel I wouldve been able to chamber and fire another round. 5th round also got the bolt stuck. I pour windex down the barrel and leave it. Next I time shoot it, its with that Czech light ball. That really sticks the bolt up, to the point where I quit after 4 shots. It was laquer coated steel but I dont think thats the issue. Again, I pour windex down the barrel. No rust.  So since I have the M24/47 apart on the coffee table I decide to clean the M91/30. I get it all apart, (action screws were extremely loose) put a couple of rags in the chamber and stick it in a black trashbag in a car in the driveway. I comback a day later and all the cosmoline/**** in the chamber effectively "melted" out. So if you're a lazy tard like me, and have the stickybolt problem heres an easy way to clear it out. I do know this worked becuase the week after doing this, I ran 30 rounds of copperwashed Steel 1946 L ball through it with no problem. Hope this helps you cure your sticky bolt problems.

Damn that blows, keep us updated with what ever your going to do with it. Good luck!
