I am lazy and I will forget to do it. . . While I like to care for my older pieces and take pride in maintaining them I also know me and the more complicated I make something to use the less likely I am to use it. I typically will clean my rifles in batches a couple times a year and as such I avoid the corrosive ammo.
I don't do mag dumps with these types of rifles so getting the more expensive ammo is not a big deal. If I put 100 round through one of these rifles in a year I am shooting it a lot.
I tend to pull them out to share with people. When ever I take my old mil serp stuff to the range I get a crowd. It is fun to see "kids" get all excited about a Modi or a K31.
My mosen for some reason gets lots of attention. I think it is because it is so loud. The blast wave off it will wake you up.
