New toys

So I picked up some new "toys" over the past month and can't wait to take them out and see how they handle. I disassembled the Mosin-Nagant and removed any traces of cosmoline I could find using Purple Power. I took the stock up to the attic to try to see if any cosmoline would sweat out of the wood, a little did but not much. The ammo I have for it is corrosive, but that is not a big deal to me as I always clean my guns after I shoot them. I am just waiting to pick up an ultrasonic cleaner so that I can toss the bolt into it and get any powder cleaned out of areas I can't normally reach.

I also plan to disassemble the P22 and toss it into the ultrasonic cleaner as I bought the gun used and it looks like it could use a deep cleaning. I need to order a few minor things for the P22 that normally comes with the gun but wasn't included with this one.

I am looking for a scope and rings for the 10/22, I don't want to do a lot with this gun as it will be used for exposing the kids to true firearms (along with the P22). I may pick up another 10/22 to customize at some point in the future.

The XD now has 2 additional mags (2 for the range and 2 for defensive rounds), I am looking at the Cross Breed Super Tuck holster for concealed and want to get a tactical drop leg holster for when I feel like or am forced to open carry.

I may end up doing some mods on all my guns but for now they will be bone stock.
