| Alright, we got it to work. My friend just soaked some of the parts in Nuts-Off solution, it did the job real quick. I also got him a black synthetic TAPCO 6-position stock with a pistol grip and Picatinny rail for his birthday. It's pretty fun to shoot, and works reliably so far. However, we only put 140 rounds through it, Wolf Military Classic 122 gr. JHP, Sellier & Bellot Czech-made FMJ, and some stuff labelled only "State Unitary Enterprise Hunting Cartridge" JHP ammo.
We're both untrained and inexperienced, however, so at 50 yards I was only able to hit one of those black targets that turn green when hit (forgot the name) 50% of the time with 70 rounds and my friend only hit it about 10 times with 70 rounds. Practice makes perfect, I suppose. It won't be long before I can add a Mosin-Nagant to my own collection and get better.
