I was looking around a gun store close to where I work and they had 4 Mosin 1891/30, two or three Arisakas, and about 5 Lee Enfields. I checked all of them and picked a Mosin. It was $139.00. As I went to pay and fill out the ATF form and wait for an okay, 10 minute phone call, the clerk started loading the box with a brand new bayonet, sling in good condition, and two ammo and tool pouches with new tools. I was a little surprised that all that came with it because they had it in the back room in an armory case.
I bought a 20 round box of soft nose cartridges for the range for $8.95. Everything is in great condition for it's age. Now for the question, actually two. Is the newly manufactured ammo corrosive now? And has anyone had any experience with using LER scopes on rifles? I've shot big bore pistols with them and had good results with accuracy. It is much cheaper to mount a kit designed to replace the rear sight so no damage is done by drilling the receiver and it can be put back in original condition.
