One Nagant done, one to go...

Got all of Comrade Cosmoline dealt with, scrubbed the bore, and installed the sling and bayonet.
These things could become an addiction!

I did find out that it only took 2 gallons of gasoline per rifle.
I would recomend that you remove the stock and set it in the sun for several hours. This is to leach the remaining cosmo out of the wood.

Took a pint of orange degreaser, about 5 gallons of BOILING water and a 1/2 can of spray Gumout to get the first one cleaned up. Even got that quirky little 2-sided oil bottle to clean up.

My local dealer got 2 more crates in and most of them were Tula-built. I'll probably have one of each model before I'm done...
