Are mitchell's mausers kr98k's restored?
Yes. My own experiences with Mitchell's Mausers is that only some of them are. A lot of them are just given a basic heat treatment to remove cosmoline off the surface, and left at that, They'll often still have cosmoline soaked into the furniture, as well as inside the bolt carrier, which will require disassembly of the bolt carrier group to clean off.
How do you dissasemble the bolt on a mosin nagant?
See related link at the bottom. If you're doing it to remove cosmoline, just spray it with oven cleaner, wipe it dry, give it a light touch of oil, and reassemble.
Is Cosmoline Grease derived from Whales you have often heard this Say the Red Army used it to lube weapons and missiles?
Cosmoline is defined elsewhere in Wiki land and is, short story, crude Vaseline. It is the gooey stuff left after all the various fuels, solvents, etc have been distilled out of petroleum. Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is refined from cosmoline. All the armies of the world have long used cosmoline to preserve firearms and other rust able hardware for long term storage, by means of painting the goo on all exposed surfaces. It is far too sticky for use as a lubricant. TEKnapp
Are modern arms manufactured and then coated in cosmoline or other preservative that must be removed prior to firing the weapon for the first time?
no
What did the military coat their weapons with in World War 2 to keep them from rusting while shipping?
Cosmoline. Very difficult to clean off.
Which type of oil is used in watch?
This has nothing to do with science-fiction but in former decades Sperm oil- yes from the Sperm Whale was used to lubricate fine watches and other scientific instruments. It was also part of the ingredients of the service lubricant Cosmoline- which does have a Russian sound, and a neat smell at operant temperatures. They used a lot of Cosmoline at Palisades Park!
What is the worth of smith and Wesson model 27-5in barrel never been fired still has cosmoline on it.?
about new in the box $1200, Exc $850. V.G. $500
How do you oven clean sks?
The 'oven cleaning' method is used for cosmoline removal. See related link 'Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle - Low Heat Method' for more information on this.
How do you strip the wood on a gun?
Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're just trying to bleed out cosmoline, my advice would be to use a curtain steamer. If you want to completely strip it then refinish it, any wood stripping products will do, as will oven cleaner.
How do gunsmiths clean guns?
Depends. If you wanted me to just give it a regular cleaning, I'd disassemble it, and then clean it with my secret cleaning solution - hot water and Dawn dish soap. Seriously. If, on the other hand, you wanted cosmoline removed from a military surplus rifle which has been in storage, that gets to be a much more complicated process. There are multiple methods for this, and none of them are particularly fast in any way.
What is the future tense of remove?
The future tense of "remove" is "will remove."
What is the value of a Stevens Model 22-410 stamped 493773 USAF?
This weapon was mass produced by several gun manufactors. The original weapon for downed pilots was 30 caliber carbine with short stock. A 45 cal automatic or 38 cal revolver. It was very difficult to shoot birds and small game with these weapons. If the 22-410 you have was never fired and in cosmoline,it may get you $100.00. (my oppinion).
