Jar of grease for "sale"... (pics)

Post by cjsimoh »

Just for fun, and out of a bit of curiosity, I scraped off all of the grease that I could from my new M91/30 1937 Tula and put it in an old baby food jar. I used a small wooden stir stick and an old hotel key card. I scraped off all that could be scraped and picked it out of the receiver, bolt, rear sight, magazine and other nooks and crannies. Not as much as I thought there would be, but, quite a bit too.

It's about a quarter of an inch plus. I am guessing that the grease that I wiped off with a rag would probably increase the total by about 25% or so...

That nasty old grease worked though, didn't it? I'll take it.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is a joy that you newer collectors have to deal with, five years back the rifles were coming out of the crates lightly oiled, or even dry, preserved in the crates with desiccant paper. The only time I saw a mess like this was with a Turk Mauser, and even they were not so.....wet.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Hey cjsimoh, If you can sell that jar to millman I might be tempted to part with my jar of bellybutton lint.
