havent had much time to work on it due to stuff at work and here at home keeping me busy, i also havent found a place that can do the sand blasting for a decent amount, so i am probably going to wait until after christmas to do more

i would love to take my mosin and sks out more but time and not having a place thats not crowded to shoot is what makes it difficult

anyone know if the place mentioned by Fuernis is this place?http://www.rehornkelly.com/ just trying to find a local place to have the mosin i am working on blasted only

i think it might be cheaper to do it myself

maybe but i am having fun restoring it

i am i just say barreled action to mention both the barrel and receiver

So I sent an email with pictures to a certain ffl who I used in the past and am waiting on a reply back to see if they can help with the barreled action

well here is how everything is looking so far, my uncle has a bench grinder that can take a wirewheel and i plan to get one for it and try and smooth out and clean the rest and next up is the barreled action which i am probably going to put into a piece of pvc pipe and fill it up with metal rescue

well i finally got it, however there is no date stamp any where on it and there is some numbers on it but none of them are the date, there is also an area on top where some was scrubbed off a long time ago, i will try to get some pictures later

quick update, the cocking knob still has some rust and so do some of the screws etc i did take out the mag well and it is almost done as well, i scrubbed it with some steel wool and it is heavily pitted but should clean up good and will look semi decent once i blue it, i will try and get some pictures in the morning

I am currently cleaning up the garage and plan to get exstension cord and one of those small heater pads and putting it on top of that on the floor on a low temp and hope for the best

With the weather being semi cold and this stuff needing to be at room temp or above to work best I am going to have to keep the parts in there for a few days to make sure it gets as much off as possible

quick update

yes i do not know how well it will work but nothing like a test

got the small items in rust remover to see how well it works

i already have one, got it back before sandy hook, i got this one for a fun project wether i shoot or just hang it on the wall i will learn something new and have fun doing it!

i found this and may give it a try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-1ZbYXz2zs&t=1s

finally got the screw out! (thanks impact screwdriver!) and to be honest i think most of it will come off with a wire wheel! or i could soak some or all of it in Evapo-Rust or something

heres some more pictures they are not very good but its the best i could do

i got some pb blaster and sprayed the top receiver screw a few times before bed lastnight and this morning tried to get it out but couldnt, i will probably take a wire wheel to it and get more of the rust off and i will also buy and try a impact srewdriver and if that does not work i will have to drill that screw out which i have never done before

i figure i might get one good shot before it disintegrates into dust in my hands

will let you know as soon as i get it!

no idea it has to go through an ffl, i was going to post the link but they are now sold out

here is the bullet test

I thought about that and I might do that just got to make some room I the garage first
