Well... found a nice $140 Chinese SKS, clean bore and only trace amounts of cosmoline in the action. Cleaned up good and nice, shoots good. Are Wolf 7.62x39'ers known for hard primers by chance? I ran into some trouble repeatedly having rounds not fire, I stripped it down later and found some cosmoline deep inside around the firing pin, but not enough to really be a problem... I haven't shot it since so, it might be it.

Also cleaned up a cosmoline-dipped 24/47 Mauser. A really nice looking gun. Haven't shot it yet... but look forward to it... with that nice big 8mm round.

hi arcturus how did you find that wolf ammo ?
i've herd it leaves thick tar stuff down the barrel thats hard to get out, that was in 223 its nice and cheap though
