Now I have 11 different Mosins, so I might be half way there. Some of these guys here have 30,40,50 or more, and they are the ones with a problem. The other ones with a problem call their guns Russian ladies!
Only 50 rifles and they have a problem??
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

if it is a war time 1941-44 Izhevsk with a stiff bolt, loose trigger and it is counter bored you have the most important MN ever made . that is the rifle that this hobby is based on. i love my 1943 imperfect Mosin. i hope yours is a hex tula but no matter just have fun with it.
