The thing I've found works best with the Mosins is to plug one end with a rubber stopper, fill the barrel with Hoppes, stand it on end in a bucket and leave it overnight.

I might try that, right now it would use more Hoppes than I have.

I just fired it last weekend, this time I’m adjusting the technique:

1. Hot soapy water brush, repeat, oil. Leave overnight.
2. Oil brush, repeat, oil. Leave overnight.
3. Bore cleaner patch, repeat several, oil. Leave overnight.
4. Repeat #3, case and store.

We shall see.
