[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1134173, member: 90399"] Thanks! I honestly haven't shot it much yet. Probably just 30 trigger pulls on it last summer with some cheap Tulammo the seller gave to me. I was able to consistently get 3 inches at 100 yards with the irons. I was on a bench with a nice solid rest. My bore and muzzle crown look to be in pretty good shape though. I did some light trigger polishing while I had it apart this time. Took it from 10+lbs to right under 7lbs without much effort. I may try to get it better next summer. Timney makes a replacement trigger for these but I'm not putting that much into this rifle. There are a handful of accuracy tricks that guys do with these Mosins. I don't drink wine but I asked my in-laws to save a couple corks for me so I can cut them up and use them in the barrel channel. I've also done my share of bedding stocks so there is a chance I may do that to it also. But stock bedding is a lot of effort so I'm undecided on that yet. If I end up enjoying the rifle I probably will bed it this winter. I would imagine that the Tubb's Final Finish bore lapping might do wonders for a mil-surp. I already have some that I was going to use for my 303 British but might allocate them for the Mosin instead. The cosmoline can definitely be a nightmare. The wood stock was pretty dark even after I stripped it with the Easy-Off. Hence, why I used the Comet bleach cleaner to brighten it a bunch. I lost a couple of the cartouches because I had to sand the stock a bit after I rinsed off the Comet cleaner. But managed to keep most of them. This was my first venture at Tru Oil. There are different methods of application I've read people prefer. I used many thin coats that I hand rubbed onto the wood. Seems to work out well. I am undecided if I will reload for this yet. You can get ammo so darn cheap. But if I do reload, Lapua makes brass for 7.62x54R. After some research and reading of reviews, I ordered the Mojo brand sights. They were the most expensive but people really sang their praises. The cheaper sights available definitely had some negative reviews. I have plenty of rifles with scopes, so keeping this one with just iron sights. [/QUOTE]
