I’ve faced some challenges with rust on the barrel. Anyone have quick tips on preventing that? I’ve cleaned it well, but I guess it’s the humidity in my area.
Rust prevention is key, Joseph! I’ve started using a silicone cloth to wipe down my rifle after every use. It makes a noticeable difference!
I’ve heard some stories about the magazine malfunctioning. Has anyone experienced this, and what did you do to fix it?

I’ve encountered that issue as well. Cleaning the magazine and checking the spring tension often helps. It can be a bit of a pain, but worth it!
What about the stock? Mine’s starting to show wear. Do I need to refinish it? What’s the process?
Refinishing the stock can really revive it! Just sand lightly and apply a good quality varnish or oil. It’s quite rewarding watching it come back to life!

I love the look of the Mohawk 600! But I have to ask, how often do you guys really clean your rifles? Is it overkill if I do it after every outing?
I think that’s perfect! Keeping it clean ensures longevity and performance. Better to be safe than sorry!

One time, I accidentally cleaned my rifle with my wife’s facial cream instead of oil! Let’s just say I won’t live that down anytime soon. Keep the rifle and creams separate, folks!
The Remington Mohawk 600 in .308 is a fascinating rifle with a strong historical background. Introduced in the 1960s, it was known for its reliability and accuracy, making it a great choice for hunters.
Absolutely! I think its design was quite innovative for its time. It’s also impressive how it holds up in today’s market as a collector’s item.
The Mohawk 600 is often overlooked, but its significance in the evolution of hunting rifles can’t be denied. People interested in firearms history should definitely consider this model.

Market value-wise, I’ve seen prices vary quite a bit based on condition. Some are selling for $600 while others, in mint condition, can go up to $1,200. It’s worth keeping an eye on auctions!
Great point! The condition really does make a huge difference. I’ve always been curious if certain years are more sought after than others.
In its heyday, the Mohawk was marketed towards the budget-conscious hunter, which is ironic considering its gaining collectible status today. It’s really interesting how markets evolve.
