XD45 7,124 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I wouldn't do it. Aim has 91/30s for $130. I'd buy one from AIM and keep the 22 ammo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd buy one from AIM and keep the 22 ammo. +1 Classic has Molot 91/30's at $110 right now and whether you have a C&R or not, the .22 is still worth holding onto. From what I have seen in stores lately a brick is going between $30 and $45, different areas may vary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EthanM 514 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 DO NOT SEEK THE TREASURE!! Lol with the current prices you'd be loosing money. I'd just buy the mosin and keep the ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adjc 171 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) got him down to 3 bricks (win wildcats) and made the trade. i'm in excellent shape on .22....much of it was purchased for under $10 a brick back in the day.....didn't even put a dent in the pile. pretty cheap rifle considering my initial investment, just couldn't let it get by. appreciate the opinions.

Bigtwin 219 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sooooo, you basically paid $30 for a rifle going for just over $100, and you hardly put a dent in your 22lr stash? I would say you did good! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Lol...reminding me of when I cleaned my 91/30. At 2:00 am I decided to get in the shower with the barrel to get the cosmoline off. The wife walked in and freaked out. I used industrial strentgh simple green and it worked perfectly. Be sure to disassemble the bolt with caution and that you reassemble within specs so your firing pin doesn't protude too much and pierces your primers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adjc 171 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 a few pics.... one more.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeAK 337 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Goo Gone worked well for me, and according to IraqVeteran8888 on youtube, you can put the small parts in an oven at around 200 degrees and the cosmo will seep out of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netpackrat 566 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Strange times we live in, when you can trade 3 bricks of .22 for a working, centerfire repeating rifle. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Really brings home the ammo as currency scenarios doesn't it. Not the first time Ive seen this lately. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
