Norm is that bottom SKS one with the side mounted dovetail? I have one and have been looking for that slide on scope mount for years. Should have bought one when I got the SKS back in the 80's. They were only $35 then with the 4x scope. I have seen them for about $200. Way too much for me.

Choate is the drill and tap mount. I have thought about that also. That link looks like a Mosin scope.

Papabear,
That is a very impressive collection of rifles. Looks like you have a gun museum in the making. If the cheese ever hits the fan you could arm have your neighborhood.

Papabear, I have some property near Beattyville and always thought if SHTF I would go there. I think I may need to go further west and hook up with you.

Nice collection. ;D ;D

I have been thinking about getting a Mosin as the Chinese SKS is all I have in milsurplus.

mosins are great, it is so hard to miss with one of those rifles (and they are very economical)

looks like you got this one from Mitchells mausers

Trent,

Actually that is a Yugo M48 that I refinished the stock, it was really dirty and oily, and I stripped it and stained it in a lighter finish, the metal was in EX condition, but the stock was nasty, but a few hours of pure love and there "she" blows............ ;D I could never pay $300 + for a Yugo M48 or a M48A.........just my $0.02 worth.

OK guys, here is my problem,
I bought a M44 Mosin Nagant in excellent condition, unissued and still in ,here is the bad part, COSOMOLINE! When it arrived the preservative on the barrel was starting to flake off, and I thought that it would be a simple task to clean. At some of the web site forums I here tails of folks going through a job of work to get them cleaned up and cosmoline free. Is there some where I can go to get instructions on how to get the stuff off of and out of the rifle? Any help would be appreciated!

HERE ARE SOME WAYS

pick a way that suits you

I like to use paint stipper and hot water and soap wash of the paint striper
at the same time it raises the grain of the wood and pulls out a lot of the dents in the wood
