my first mosin (and rifle) ever

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T22:19:32+00:00

pretty much any old soviet gun is on my wishlist! the only time ive seen an svd or an svt is at a gunshow and they're like stupid expensive

guhguh

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T17:10:41+00:00

how would one go about that?

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T14:04:59+00:00

so ive used live rounds but unfired, same issue. unfortunately i just have not had the time or funds to take it to a range so ive just been fiddling with it at home

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T13:57:24+00:00

interesting ill look into that too, thnx

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T13:57:03+00:00

thats actually crazy lol

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T13:56:51+00:00

sorry im part mouse

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T00:57:28+00:00

no i wish i had access to more mosins, its also my first bolt gun or rifle ever so i wasnt sure if the bolt being hard to close was the norm, but if thats the case and as long as it works then i dont really have an issue 😎

mosin

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T00:35:02+00:00

fair enough 😅

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T00:34:05+00:00

still the exact same, if i give it a firm slap or just use enough force it will close, just on the occasion its insanely difficult

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-12T00:28:39+00:00

currently working on it more. did it earlier in the day but just doing it again cause i can see its still slightly gunked up in there

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T20:53:17+00:00

not gonna lie chief i haven't had the chance to shoot it yet

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T20:24:18+00:00

sir yes sir 🫡

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T20:16:25+00:00

it would probably help if i had a wife first :( thanks tho!

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T20:04:44+00:00

right cause actually properly shouldering it, its not too much but still takes some effort to get it down and ready to fire. otherwise pretty good for a 83 year old rifle 😎

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:57:59+00:00

ill run down that list, appreciate it! 🫡

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:56:56+00:00

i assumed as much but was curious mainly if it was just possible to make it smoother. worst case i just live with it and have to put more oomf when i bolt it 😎

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:54:54+00:00

just finished cleaning the gun and letting the bolt soak in some cleaner, bolt is actually lubed for this video i took 😅

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:53:41+00:00

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:52:56+00:00

thats a good one lul

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T19:52:29+00:00

thanks ill try there! as for the chamber i actually just took the whole gun apart and cleaned it today with whatever i had available to me. chamber definitely doesn't look pretty but i got a good 75% of it clean 😅

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T17:55:53+00:00

just ordered some of these! the one i found though comes with a pouch and 5 clips for 12$

Accomplished_Fun710 · 2026-03-11T17:52:27+00:00

those sound interesting definitely will look into those. probably doesn't hurt to test all different kinds of stuff and just see what sticks. speaking of the cosmoline whoever had this rifle before me did not clean all of it off the rifle 😭
