Dip the the brush in solvent and chuck the cleaning rod in a drill. Take the bolt out and insert the brush into the chamber from the rear, and spin it with the drill for a minute or two (keeping it out of the throat/barrel). Then clean well with patches.
A lot of mosins have a kind of shellac built up in the chamber from old cosmoline that's dried out. When you fire a few rounds it heats up the gunk and sticks to your fired case.
If anyone wants to shoot but doesn't have a rifle available let me know. You buy the ammo and you can use one of mine. The same goes for the rimfire match afterwards.

Thanks BK

The rimfire match is basically any standard "sporter" type rifle. It has to be under 7.5 lbs and no fluted barrels. So, a bull barreled 16" 10/22 will make weight, a 20" bull will not. Trigger needs to be 3 lbs or above. Scopes/peep sights and open sights are separate classes. A shooting sling is allowed. Total of 60 rounds, shot prone, sitting, and standing.
Now, with all that said, we'll let anyone shoot. Even if you have a big heavy target rifle with a hair trigger you can show up and we'll let you shoot in the "unlimited" class.

I've got a light scoped .22 I could use---but it has a Dragunov-style stock. Will that be a problem? (Man, I haven't shot that in awhile...)
bkoenig:
Well, according to the CMP rules a thumbhole stock is not allowed. But for this local match it would be ok.
Looks like now I won't make it to the vintage match that morning, but I'll be there by 11:00 to run the rimfire one.

I still need to shoot one of these...either that or i donated ten bucks to you Brian since the one i started to shoot got rained out lol.
