If you skip to roughly :54 in the video below you will see the thing that I think looks a bit funny. The video really does not do it justice, but in the "live" view it looks like it is crystal. This is a new rifle to me, and I have not shot it yet, the video is how it came out of the box. Corrosive primers are common in this rifle, and I was thinking it might be salt crystal? Just looking for other thoughts on it.
The rifle is a 1917 Westinghouse 91/30....pretty one at that. This rifle is unlike any of my other mosins, no other word but it feels crisp and sharp next to the well worn examples usually come across. I think this one got very little use, but clearly some use. Plan is to clean it up this afternoon, and shoot it some before the cold hits us again.
Was not really sure on where to put this topic....so the "vintage" section is where I am.
