I just acquired a nice Mosin Nagant 91/30: my problem:

The trigger is very light, about 50% of the time I closed the bolt, the firing pin is released. Do any of you experts have any idea of how I can make this a safer gun? If I closed the bolt slowly it doesn't release the firing pin, still I consider this gun unsafe. Please help. Any info is much appreciative.:rolleyes:
 
Bongos, sounds like the result of a botched trigger job. You need more sear/cocking piece engagement. I think you are looking at replacing either the trigger or the cocking piece and possibly both. George
 
The gun came from the store this way, the bolt and receiver serial number does not match. In this case, where can I go (other than gun shows) to get the parts?
 
Maybe...

Do you have an adjustable trigger?

Mine is. One of the two screws is trigger travel. If you set the travel too short by turning the screw too far, this happen.
Check f there is two screws on your trigger (the other one is trigger weight).

It would be sad to change pieces for nothing.
If not, what the others said.
 
I borrowed and put another bolt in, the gun works fine, looks like the bolt is the problem... thanks for all your help
