In about five days i will be the owner of a Steyr M95 Carbine I bought from JG Sales down in arizona, I know ammo is a little pricey but what else should i be expecting,

Nice!

I actually bought my SKS from them on black Friday.

 

[ricklovin93]

they have pretty good customer service, they even threw in a box of bullets for ten more bucks, sks was on the wish list but they didnt have any in stock

Congrats. I want one!! I'm a sucker for C&R under $100.

 

[ricklovin93]

It was between the steyr or a mosin, I've never seen one of these straight pull carbines before, so opted for one, hell mosin are everywhere

 

[Tgunz]

Couple more days and we're going to need some pics!

 

[ricklovin93]

its at the marcy fedex just waiting till monday for it to be dropped off at k&k guns, tuesday i promise pictures, its a surprise for everyone, i have no idea what kind of condition its going to be in. The description said good-very good so lets hope for the best!

 

[Tgunz]

I'm sure it will be great. I was hoping for the best when I ordered from them, and I was very pleasantly surprised with the condition. I'm very envious....I love waiting for shipments!

brake cleaner. It melts it off. Engine cleaner same deal. I usually just clean the heck using Hoppes, unless its the metal parts, then I use the brake/engine cleaners

Just be careful if you get the engine/brake cleaners on the wood it will mess it up.

 

[ricklovin93]

What about the Cosmo on the wood

 

[warbrane]

I use 409 on the wood, and brake clean on all metal parts once I have removed them from the wood stock. Be sure to oil up the metal parts soon after cleaning because they flash rust fairly quickly once you have stripped off all of the gunk.

I have used kerosene or diesel fuel on the metal and simple green and many paper towels on the wood.

 

[RayKnobs]

I have put it in the oven on the lowest setting with the door propped open and sweated it out.

sorry about the ****ty pics ipod camera and overhead light doesnt go together. ill try to take some at the range tommorrow morning, also post pictures of the grouping. Its alot better than what i was expecting, not in the best shape as you can see there is some pitting on the barrel, and the upper stock has a crack in it, the bore is decent, rifling itself looks okay but it appears there maybe some pitting in there as well, maybe shooting it tommorow before class will loosen some more **** in the bore up. take the bolt apart and putting it back together is simple, but installing it back into the receiver is a bitch ( i was exspecting this after watching some videos on you tube) the action is considerably stiff but im pretty sure its just the way it was designed. Tommorow ill post my results at the range also with some more pictures.

 

[plater1]

It looks good. I like the wood.

 

[ricklovin93]

Also i was really surprised with the length of the gun, i knew it was gonna be short but i didnt think it was gonna be THAT short, i kinda like it , but since this is the first gun i have bought myself i fell in love as soon as i opened up at the gun shop.

so far i found out that it was imported by century arms inc (CAI) down in georgia
