thank you JYD... i needed to hear that... just got my front sight tool and ready to go to the range for the first time with this baby ... will give review and pics upon return.. thanks all!

im just wondering how safe they are to handle, how hard the primer has to be hit before they go off.... i kind of know the answer myself, but want confirmation from you guys who know... i know soldiers in combat didnt worry about their ammo going off... so i know i will be fine... just sometimes loa...

how safe is center fire ammo... how mush pressure does it take to ignite the primer... i know i need to be safe... duh!, but how gentle or not gentle can i safely be without accidently setting off the bullet... im not real familiar with center fire munitions... cheers

thank you all for your posts and response... i am NOT going to sniperize this rifle... i just wanted to see if i liked the bent handle compared to stock handle... my rifle will and always remain how it came to me.. i am a purest believe me.... also a F.N.G... so bear with my sometimes often lameness...

right frickin' on guys... thank you for your wisdom... she is ready then ... firing pin depth, cosmoline free, does not close on a field gage.... now i just have to skip work one weekend and shootin'... thanks again folks!!!!!!

afternoon folks... i just bought some winchester 180 grain for my mosin.. i know the milsurp ammo is 148... will this cause a deadly malfunction to occur upon my firing this beauty for the first time???? cheers..

night all.. school tomorrow.... mosin dreams and warm tender females yum...

just the bolt body desdem12.....

you know jumperire... it was only after i bought my plug style field gage that i looked up and saw the okie gages with the notch cut out for the extractor ... but oh well.. the one i have works good but for the removal of the extractor.... oh..

thanks mn fan.... i cant get this rifle out of my head... i want to curl up with it on a cold snowy night in my bag and smell the forest, the morning smoke rises, as i and my trusty mosin venture to hunt. to find. to kill. to eat. thanks again...

i will recheck headspace, though getting the extractor off will be a bitch... might be easier a second time.... i didnt really want to, but i was just being lazy... the more i f*** with it the more of a chance i could brake the extractor.. but i dont think its possible, i am very anal about my how i...

desdem12... i bought it at kbtacticalstar... 75ish...

damn it mn fan!!!! that is not what i want to hear... but you are right... you are right....sigh....

no ... im not going to sniperize this one .. next one yes... i just wanted to see which handle style worked for me.. i like how it lays flat... takes a minute to get used to the different angle though... slam if forward, slam it open!!!! i will not be gentle with her.. she can take it....

i really want my first mosin to be as true to original as humanly possible... i love the historical aspect of this weapon... built like a tank.. solid , no frills just one dead zombie after another...

im having a hard time getting a picture of the corner without all the shine... yours does look a lot rougher than mine... it fits perfect and the mark matches the bolt head.. maybe its a new handle on an old bolt....

hi folks.... need help with some markings on my new sniper bolt.... place i ordered it from said it was original..( i had asked if the headspace would change) and they emailed me back with the answer of its original... do these markings reflect that....? prost!

thats what the manual says... i dont really understand it myself.. it will be one of the first things i try when i eventually get to the range... i did do a slight trigger mod... great video on you tube... gives the sear a more rearward pull/release... have tried it yet though... just want to make s...

acerpower.. as a new owner myself first thing i did was read everything i could on my new best friend.... firing pin length, headspace, and zeroing ( sighting in)etc etc... i am familiar with modern weapons and how they function, but not something as badass as this... if the firing pin pierces the p...

yes sir!
