Oil Bottles

[RugerNut]

I have owned quite a few MN's in the past. The cleaning kits have always had the dual container oil bottles with them.
I just recently bought another MN 91/30 and the oil bottle is a single container with the Izhevsk mark on it. Are these rare? I have never seen a single container oil bottle before.

These turn up with the refurbs from time to time, just another variation, I have had a handful of them show up over the years.

Thank you JYD.
As I stated before, I have owned quite a few MN's in the past, where you could buy them for $65. Long gone are those days.

Here's great reference for these http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAcc.htm if you come across an unusual one in the future.

Remember when you got everything that was in the crate and the dealers matched the bayonets to the rifles? Sometimes there was a deal if you bought 2 or more and the price went down? Some dealers were known to sell a tin of ammunition at what had to be their price (or at least at deep discount)? The "Good Old Days"

Cheapest I ever bought one of the out of the crate refurbs was $55, but I have paid less for issued rifles and some Finn's.

I have or better said, my Momma cat has one like you show that she stole from the Man Cave and uses it as a toy to bat around.

It might sound silly but I really really wanted an Izhevsk oiler o.o.

I like that single bottle. I have not seen one yet. My first Mosin was a mint bore 43 Izhevsk for 59.99 that came with a bayonet and a whole bag of the usual accessories. That was from J&G
