Hey everyone,
Well I was looking for a turk 98 and ended up picking up a Mosin Nagant type 91/59 for $80. The numbers all match, the entire gun seems to be in *beautiful* condition. The gun has a faint 1942 stamped in it, and a deeper 1891/59 stamp. There is also a rubbed out crest with leaves on it. And a triangle with what looks like a piece of dynamite in the middle.
I have some questions-
1. Can anyone tell me more about this gun?
2. What are the best solvents to clean it up and refinish the wood?
3. Where can I get a sling and bayonette?
4. Should I check the headspacing like the M98 Mausers?
5. Did I get a good deal?
THANKS!
