ok fellas, i just bought two surplus mosin nagant m91/30 rifles. One is a tula 1939 and the other is a "regular" 1939 nagant, Both are round recievers and in quite nice shape.
The Tula 1939 functions perfectly no problems what so ever. The other has some sort of bolt problem. I notice when i was cleaning the gun that the bolt woulnt go on safety (you kow pull the knob and rotate couterclockwise). I took the bolt out and apart, cleaned it and removed all cosmoline, and it still will not go on safety, and when snapped it is extremely hard to lift the handle and action the bolt.
However, if i take the front half the bolt off (firing pin shroud/bullet extractor) it will easily go on safety. ***?
Im somewhat new to these guns, so is this a common problem? Im not wanting to shoot a gun with a bolt that will not act right.
Does anyone have a good period correct bolt laying around they arent using?
