I cant find much about this powder other than the cans seem to be pretty collectable. He dont use black powder so he will be getting rid of all of it but I was wondering if anybody here knew anything about the Meteor brand? Thanks for any help or info on this powder.

It came with two 15rd magazines, sling & oiler, carry case and bayonet w/ Sheath.

I still need to confirm that is is actually a Korean War rifle.

Picked it up from the pawn shop last Saturday, got to shoot her Veterans Day & she is defiantly a shooter.

Sorry for the bad pics, I'll try for some better ones later.

Or is either acceptable alternatives to one another. Or use them together. Or is it really just personal preference?

I'm excited about shooting my new mosin for the first time this weekend but I don't want a rust bucket when I'm done! :)

And as an aside, does anyone here have that ati mosin fiberglass type stock for their rifle like I have seen for sale on cheaper than dirt and MidwayUSA or is that thought to be sacrilege?

Ok,it was unfired by me,recently bought new,in cosmoline. Cleaned her up really nice,bore looks unfired.All matching numbers...real clean,sharp rifle.
Now,as I do all my weapons,Ive been dry firing it a lot. All a sudden yesterday,BEFORE any live fire had been done,the bolt became VERY VERY hard to open,after I would dry fire it. Im full aware of the sticky chamber/laquer ammo problem,this is not what Im talking about.
The bolt cycles very easily/smoothly while cocked,but drop the hammer on a empty chamber,and ita a mofo to open again. Ive felt aroung the chamber and feel no burrs or anything outta place,and a visual of same confirms that too.
So...thoughts and opinions on cause and remedy appreciated!! ]]> Curio, Relics and Black Powder Straight Shooter http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/curio-relics-black-powder/29344-whats-up-my-mosin-nagant.html http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/curio-relics-black-powder/29254-put-new-friend-lay-away-today.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:11:24 GMT Getting a CZ 82.

You use a primed 25acp case in the breech plug instead of the 209. I get pretty meticulous about removing/cleaning the breech plug and it gets rank pretty fast with the 209's and small flash hole. I don't know how you can make a TC Omega much more accurate but they claim the conversion not only is cleaner but improves accuracy. Just wondered if anyone has any experience with it before I spent the money?
