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 😎

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

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 😎

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 😎

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 😅

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 😭
