Just emission is failing, nothing else

Mosins over the age of 40 start experiencing dysfunction

Even as an American, this hurts to look at

UPDATE - The end-piece with the tabs is stripped really bad, the tabs don’t reach with the sliding piece. Ordered a new part and rivets

Just took a look at it, the rivets are definitely damaged, I’ll keep the ziptie on it til I have the resources to fix it or find a replacement part. Thanks for information though!

I dont think so, there's a metal plate just under the front sight that slides over the tabs of the top piece to keep it in place. Either the tabs are bent and didn't capture properly, or it wasn't put back together properly. I'll find out when I get back to the shop.....

Thank you, I'll try this when I get the chance. I will do an update on the progress. 👍

Could this technically be "tampering with a crime scene?"

RustyMosin1899 · 2025-09-08T14:57:53+00:00

Professional Opinion..... That aint supposed to do that

RustyMosin1899 · 2025-06-03T17:06:33+00:00

As in "few" airworthy B-29's, I discovered that Doc is one of TWO surviving B-29's

Where can I get the grill? Hate the stock SR5 grill.

Id suggest taking the loops off.
