Mosins are disappearing fast and the prices are climbing. Need to buy ASAP. Even many in the LGS are still in Cosmoline. The 1927 91/30 I bought a year ago was.First I have to say Bravo! for selecting the Mosin Nagant 91/30 as a carry piece. I find the sling to be very comfortable. I believe any 91/30 from Century International Arms will be packed with Cosmoline. It's not difficult to get it off the metal but the stock will surely not give it up easily. I bought two at jgsales.com with "excellent bore" and was not at all disappointed, but if you want one already clean, I would have to suggest a local shop that had one come in from a customer.
