M91 Argie little guy

[speared um]

I took apart my M91 Argentine DWM Engineer carbine and cleaned the dark barrel. After a good cleaning with the best smelling Hoppe's #9 it came out shiny. This is my third Engineer's Carbine, so I probably won't shoot it for awhile... I used graphite gun grease on the barrel to protect it for a longer period than gun oil.





My dad had the grease leftover in his old gun bag, but I think the graphite has a long half-life. Should I leave it, or clean and replace with new type gun grease?





I used the graphite on the 100% finish, but the top of the barrel is thinning and changing to a little different blue (would that reduce the % of the finish?). The bolt is in white, the crest is good, and the writing is sharp and clear.





I cleaned the stock with de-greaser, but just wiped it off without rinsing off with a lot of H2o. It left some of the grime on the neck of the M/M darkish yellow stock, but I don't think it's Burch or teak... maybe ash. My Loewe's M91 EC is defiantly walnut, but my other M91 DWM EC is true-oiled or varnished... dark and shiny like a commercial rifle. That stock was sanded; the serial # is faint and illegible, so I don't know if the stock is walnut or matches the receiver.





It's a beautiful mil surp, but I may trade it for a M09 Argie Cavalry Carbine or a M95 7mm.





Thanx Dante'

They are cool aren't they? I just have one but it's a beautifully crafted rifle and shoots like a heat-seeking missle.

Any chance of a picture, just interested because I'm going to see some Falkland bring backs so to speak.
