Milsurp After Hours

Found this Chinese Mosin Nagant oil bottle on E-bay a couple of days ago.

I collect these items next to my Mosin Nagant rifles and carbines.

I wanted to buy, but hesitated a bit.

I've had some problems over a bought item on E-bay some months ago.

My wife said that for $5.00 I could take a chance.

It's one of those items that is very hard to get over here....especially a Chinese one, so I'm very happy I won.

Now I hope they send it over real soon.

It's just a small item.....but I'm one happy collector.

Martin, for $5 it was worth a dabble, nice find.

Joe

Thanks Joe.

I think so too.

These items make my collection more complete and they look great in a display.

Martin heres a pic of my oil bottle, i cant remember country of origin, but it came in a cleaning kit i picked up years ago.

The pullthrough is really long with the loop in the middle so its probably more of a pullbackand forth. !!!

I used to also have a canvas scope cover for the sniper rifle but i gave that to Dromia when he acquired his sniper MN.

Yes sir, that's an early Soviet cleaning kit.

The Cyrillic letters translate to shchalok(left) and neft.

This can be translated to alkaline solution(left) and oil.

This one seems to be, besides the dual compartment oil bottle, unissued.

Most of the time you can find the arsenal on the screwdriver.

Must be somewhere under all that grease.

Nice kit Joe.

I think that it was probably the same as our pullthroughs Joe, designed so as armorers and platoon sergeants could extract oversized pieces of 4 x anything from a squaddies barrel when they got it jammed

@ Duncan, this pullthrough is twice as long as the SLR item!

@Martin, you were right. Thanks for the info.

I seem to remember that the Bren pull-through was overly long and with a central loop - could it be that the soviets employed a similar pull-through (for whatever weapon) and that you have one?

Just a thought.

Happy New Year.

Tom

My thinking too Tom.

Joe

Joe, here are my other oil bottles.

It took me quite a while to collect these.

Especially the Finnish ones.

The Chinese one will fit right in.
