My little Babushka

[CJ]

I'll keep that in mind when the time comes for me to chose which rifle I should arm myself with during the next revolution.
Negative Nancy gun snobs I tell you what...

Dismissing me as a gun snob is pretty funny. I talk about the technical design of a firearm, you use personal insults. Let's keep the drama out of the armory. It's a very valid point seeing as others have also experienced it.

The rifle uses rimmed ammunition yet fires from a box magazine. If you can get through a spam can of ammunition without experiencing rim-lock then it will have been an act of God.

Rim lock sucks, you have to open the magazine from the bottom and get a stick and poke the bullets out. Which is why there is a hammer and sickle on the USSR flag and on the crest of these weapons. They are to remind you the tools that you need along this weapon. Beat that bolt until it opens.

I still have two an M44 and an M91/30 to shoot.

CJ couldn't have hit the nail any more perfect. A bolt action rifle that jams. Say that to yourself and then figure out why the hell you still have this slavic relic. I broke my stock once on it...

From my internets studies, rim lock is caused by the interrupter not doing its job, which supposedly was a fantastic design for such a simple weapon. If that is the case then the tolerances are too loose to hold a casing in place while the bolt is ejecting a spent round. Don't take this personally, but I still think you are a gun snob. I would like to request you two stay out of this thread if you are going to snob it up by saying what I should have bought. I did not start this thread saying it's the best rifle ever. I don't expect much out of it. It's not going to be used in life or death situations. You haven't stated anything that I haven't already read about. As stated, it was cheap, the ammo is cheap and I'll deal with whatever comes next. Is that alright?

Well I'm glad our challenge resulted in you getting further knowledge of your weapon. I'm not a gun snob, you just need to personally insult people to make yourself feel better, and I understand that. You've always done it.

I can pull a few instances from your banterings and tirrades as well, dear sir. I had done this research before purchasing the gun therefore the stroking of the ego is not necessary either.

Fact, and now you're whining. Anything else?

Just got back from the range. Shoots high and to the right. Also has a problem cycling a spent casing. I don't think it's "sticky bolt" because it cycles rounds just fine before firing. It's just after the shell has expanded does it have a problem. After 40 rounds the rifle never experienced two rounds trying to feed at the same time. Still junk. Going to throw it away.

That is the infamous sticky bolt.

So your rifle won't extract spent casings without force, it's elevation is off, and the windage is fucked. Hmm.

Except you did experience jams. You probably need to clean the chamber as the cases are expanding and sticking. Just remember - this is a bolt action rifle - and all the shit you gave us saying we are snobs, you just experienced jams yourself. See what we're saying now? 40 rounds I wouldn't expect to see that problem. I usually shoot a can of 1080 and experience it a handful of times.

The infamous sticky bolt has to do with the lack of cleaning of any cosomline in the chamber. I've gone through all the steps to clean the chamber. I don't think it could be that since it cycles just fine other than after it is fired. Other than that, I am not surprised the sights are off. It really does not bother me at all.

Oh snobpoo... All you were bitching about is the feeding issues, which the rifle has no problem with. I had to use ammunition from the range. The jury is out until I can shoot ammunition that I ordered. If it still has a problem it will get fixed. If it does need to be fixed I will come back and type on this very thread how much this rifle sucks whilst typing with one finger and sipping on my Twinings with my pinky sticking out.

"One of most frequent postings on all of the Mosin Nagant related forums is that of the problem of sticking bolts. Many people believe that this is related to the type of ammo they are using, others believe it is a headspace problems and still others attribute it to a rough chamber. They are all correct in their own way but often the problem is as simple as a dirty chamber!"

So basically, your gun could have the sticky bolt for a multitude of reasons dude. I suggest polishing the chamber.

SSjunk sounds like a douche.
