Well I've posted before about getting an M38 as my first gun, but since they seem hard as heck to find now I'm settling for a superior M39 from the stickied M39 post. Since this is my first gun, there's a lot of things I still don't know yet. So I came here to ask for your guys' help.
Here's of a list of what I know I need to get:
- Hoppe's #9
- Nylon or brass brushes for 7.62mm (which is better?)
- M39 (Obviously)
- 7.62x54R surplus rounds (Which country produced the cleanest firing round?)
- Gun lock or safe
The Dos that I know:
- Make sure the barrel has a D for 7.62x54R
- Clean after firing surplus rounds as soon as you can
- Oil the parts to prevent rust
I'm actually going to buy two M39s, one for firing and one for collecting. They are from www.gunsnammo.com from the stickied M39 post. The item numbers are 4218X ( Collection rifle) and 50927X. Regarding 50927X, it has blood pitting on the barrel, which is actually a plus for me because it shows you that the rifle has seen some close up action. But when I look at the provided pictures, I see a lack of a capital D on the receiver like 4218X. Is it there somewhere else? Or is it one of the few M39s that haven't been modified for 7.62? Oh and it was produced by Sky and it seems like none of those have the capital D.
On another note, if any of you know about California gun laws regarding out of state purchases I would appreciate your wisdom.
