i think ive gone over this before on my mosin project (check out if you need ideas)
mainly the key is to neutralize the acidic nature of the surplus
windex is good to use (anyone saying anything else needs to look at taking a chemistry class)
steps to go through i do
-first using the cleaning rod and a windex SOAKED wad. jam that down the barrel till its flooded well
- wait at least 15 minutes for the windex to act as a neutralizing agent
-now come back with a dry wad, and clean the barrel as you would normally (oil , balistol, and hops systems are fine)
-once you've cleaned till there is no discoulering of the wads, you will want to place a oiled wad down the barrel, to prevent rusting of the barrel
you should also lightly oil anything on the mosin thats metal (even the black painted parts)
the wood may need beeswax or a light waxing, to coat it to look nice or prevent any issue later on
all in all its a good system to follow no mater what round type you shoot
hope this helps
