Anyone collect military surplus stuff?

Corrosive ammo is no big deal if you understand it properly. The salt in the primer is what attracts moisture = corrosion/rust. I just bring the popular solution which is a bottle of Windex and spray down the bore and the bolt then do my regular cleaning, then oil.
Its really quite easy.
A few years ago when it was ultra cheap I bought a few thousand rounds of surplus 7.62x54R and continue to shoot it.

Yeah i have several boxes of "brown bear" that i bought online. Have been using the windex on it since i first got it. I also found a great site online7.62x54r.net (http://7.62x54r.net/) where i learned alot about care of the rifle, and its history and all that. pretty informative and the people are super helpful.

Ok cool. It's great to find another person on the warpath who shares my enjoyment of mosin nagants....

I only see 3 types of bayonets.

The Mauser bayonets are similar, especially the scabbard.
There are bayos in that picture for Russian 91/30's, Yugo M48, Czech 98/22, Yugo 24/47's and Turkish 1938 long and short.

Here's a typical "spam can" of the surplus 7.62x54R I bought.
This can happens to be Albanian.

You'll also notice the difference in the barrel rings. Some are extended and some are not. They will only fit on their respective guns.

Here's a fair portion of my ammo stash.
I hope you will appreciate some of the storage containers.
