Inspecting and Cleaning Milsurp Firearms

My channel is full of restoration projects, taking military surplus firearms in bad condition, and preserving them for future, as well as making them functional again. But I don't always buy stuff that's in bad shape. In this video I look at two recent acquisitions, a rifle and a pistol, and show what I look for when buying, as well as how I inspect and clean them. The rifle is a Belgian Model 1889/36 Mauser chambered in 7.65x53mm. The pistol is a Spanish Star Modelo Super chambered in 9mm Largo.
