Military rifle match at Southern Lancaster

[jorjohn11]

Who's going up this Sunday and what are you bringing? My nephew got a Mosin Nagant for a Christmas present and we will probably be there.

 

[Lambo]

I'll be there and possibly I'll bring 3 or 4 others with me.
Be sure to dress warm even though we will have a fire going. Hot/Cold Drink, Burgers & Dogs are available also.
Note: Bring enough Ammo, 2 Mags/En-blocs/Stripper Clips, this is a 58rd Shoot which includes 2 10rd rapid fire!

Looks good from afar are there any dings on the furniture, if not how did you get them out?

Mine has a few but I don't want to do anything destructive for fear of messing up the cartouches.

This one came the way you see it! New Furniture......your looking at the CMP Maple Stock & Handguards.

That explains it then, not sure what I want to do with the one I just got here on the board. I love it, it killed block ice in a milk jug sitting on a fence post well today from my bedroom window. I do NOT want to destroy the original pressed 1950's cartouches but wouldn't mind raising the few minor dents and getting some of the oil out of it.

Pressure washer, dishwasher or just leave well enough alone and forget perfection?

 

[Drmsparks]

Dishwasher works well, actually helps cartouches- it raised some on my m1 carbine I couldn't see before hand.

If you are sqeemish, simple green or denatured alcohol will strip out the grease and a damp washcloth and an iron will raise out most dents....

Lambo,

Have you oiled that stock up yet? CMP always ships them kinda dry....

Yep..........the first thing I did after a complete break-down cleaning. The Furniture was extremely dry, applied 2 coats of Lindseed Oil.

 

[Drmsparks]

I just did my annual detail strip of my competition rifle and the mandatory additional coat of oil. I tried OOOO steel wool as an applicator. Worked nice and evened out some of the scratches it picked up this year.

I wanted to try the SL shoots this year but its a two hour drive one way....It'll be a while till I have that much time....

 

[RobMoore]

Can't make it this weekend, but this seems like something I'd want to shoot my No4 MKII in. I'll check it out after Feb.

We may have some snow tonight & tomorrow. That will deter me from going if it amounts to anything. Those Country Roads + Pennsylvania's

Roger,
It was about 5:00 pm when my nephew and I left. The roads were kinda slick. He took 1st as junior. I got third. My feet are still froze.

Congrats to both of you!
