Does this clean a Mosin well?

Keeping the barrel clean is the important thing... Even at the range you should pass a couple of patches through it and after using your gun give it a good barrel cleaning... a neglected and pitted barrel is the end of that gun.. These patches are a great part of the cleaning sequence that needs to be maintained. Guns are like your teeth: Neglect them and they'll soon be useless.

I do not own a Mosin rifle and have never cleaned one, but I think I've heard other shooters who do have one say the ammo used in a Mosin is very "dirty", leaving a lot of residue in the chamber and barrel. Due to the widespread shortage of .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammo over the past several months, I found myself buying and shooting several boxes of VERY old, smoky, and dirty 148 gr wad cutter and 158 gr lead semi-wadcutter ammo (when is the last time you saw many NEW boxes of those?) in my Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum. After going through 150-200 rounds of this ammo, six rounds at a time, these Allen Company gun cleaning patches did a really great job of soaking up the M-7 Pro Gun Cleaner and all the dirty ammo "shooting crud" it removed from inside the barrel, in and around the forcing cone, inside each chamber, and the rest of my revolver. Then, when my Security Six was "squeaky-clean", the Allen Company gun cleaning patches spread a thin film of M-7 Pro Gun Oil (LPX) throughout it's insides and outsides, then absorbed any excess oil I might have applied. These Allen Company gun cleaning patches help me keep my Ruger Security Six revolver, my Beretta 96A1 semi-auto pistol, my Marlin semi-auto rifle, and my antique Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. 12-gauge SxS hammerless shotgun all looking, and more importantly, functioning perfectly and helping me shoot groups as tight as my personal shooting skills permit! I hope this info helps you.

I own a Mosin and have used these patches. They are IMPOSSIBLE to use in a Mosin's barrel until you cut them in half. They're probably too thick, and I definitely wouldn't force the patches into the barrel whole. After cutting them into two rectangular halves, they work well.

They are very good quality patches. After quality, the size of the patch relative to the caliper/diameter (and to a certain extend the length) of your barrel matters. I'm using them to clean my 9mm Glock pistol. I bought larger (and more expensive) slotted round patches ("Otis All Caliper Cleaning Patches") to clean my 16 inch carbine barrel.

I've tried these with my mosin and k31 with a tipton standard jag and they will not fit with out trimming about 1/4" from 2 sides. I plan on getting some 1 3/4" patches, which should fit better.

Yes, but not as frequently. There are excellent videos available on YouTube that explain the frequency, method and different cleaning agents needed. Enjoy - great gun.

I installed it on Mosin 90/31It Does Work- easy! Eye relieve with great distance. Make sure you order low profile rings.

both works just fine. but don't put it on anything more kicky than a Mosin. .308 will work perfectly.

It will more likely work but not great due to the mosin doesn't have much barrel exposed to mount to. I have both this and a mosin. Though I haven't tried it. I've used this bi-pod on various rifles including a 30-06 that kicks as hard.

it has a really long eye relief, but if your mosin scope is mounted in front of the bolt thats a bit iffy. But there are options for mounting over the bolt in which case it should be more than fine

yes it does. The kit was designed to clean both size pistols. It works very well for this. Just add a OTIS ripcord and you have the perfect cleaning system.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

For touch up it can be used if you are doing cold bluing but it will not exactly match a flat black finish. I re-blued a Russian Mosin Nagant and the finish came out good but only because of extensive prepping the surface. If the surface is not prepped enough then you will end up with a rusty reddish looking color.

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

Yes this what I use on my Mosin-Nagant. It really helps on the recoil, you will see a big difference. The instructions tell you to take it off the gun when your done shooting.

Sure. Just be sure to use gun cleaning solution, not brass cleaning solution.

Yes. I clean my in hot soapy water after 2 or 3 uses depending on how dirty my weapon was..

I use it sparingly at 100% to clean guns. Perhaps, depending on your specific purpose, you could successfully mix it with water but that might also invite rusting.

WD-40 Specialist works fine on firearms, especially on guns that need major cleaning and lubricating. However, I've just found a firearm lube that is superior to anything I've ever used - - M-Pro 7. This gun lube along with the M-Pro 7 gun cleaner work miracles on any metal moving parts and the lube is great for protecting the exposed metal parts of firearms as well. I've even used this lube on fishing reels with stunning success and this really works in protecting reels from water and grime. M-Pro 7 lube and the related gun cleaner are VERY low odor and not corrosive to plastics. Available at big box retailers that sell firearms and probably at outdoors/outfitter retailers as well. More info at MPro7.com. I use firearms for hunting and was skeptical about M-Pro 7 marketing as a lube for tactical firearms, but after using this stuff I'm convinced it is the real deal. (Disclaimer: I have NO financial or any other connection to M-Pro 7 and it's manufacturer and related distributors/retailers.)

I have had good success on paper at 300 yds on my 308Win Scout Rifle. This has been a great value for my application. I don't know enough about the Mosin Nagant to give advice on the mount. I can say the scope can handle the recoil on the MN.

No it is best to get the gage for that. having a round break or blowup receiver is not fun. This should only be used to sight in. When in doubt take your mosin to a gunsmith
