Mosin Nagant 91/30 Bolt Dissasembly / Assembly

[EviLNox8]

Do I need to oil the parts of the bolt?

[thedtmann]

Very informative video, can you post something on performing a "head clearance" check? ...and you absolutely correct on the pronunciation nagant is said with a silent T. Lol... everyone says NaganT

[Atritionist]

Sweet

[PR0L0GIC89]

VERY VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU!!!

[melishot69]

Thank you it was very helpful!! And thank you Iraq Vet!!!!!!!!

[MilkMenDreaming]

Great video, thanks for the info! One question about the firing pin measure though...My firing pin is just as long as the 2nd notch maybe a hair bigger, is that okay? It touches the top of the notch. The back sits completely flush... Now, if I make it sit below the 2nd notch (and bigger than the first notch) the back is not flush? Should I just leave it so the back is flush?

[OnlyInhuman666]

to me this video seemed like it was made for the mosin nagant owner that knows nothing about the rifle, and i like that. it was very easy to understand.

one thing i feel worth mentioning is that you do not "need" the nagant tool to chech the firing pin, but it does make it easier, all you need to know is the sixe of those two slots, the small one is .075 inches and the large one is .095 inches or 75 and 95 thousandths. so you could check the pin using a dial caliper if you had to.

[fireguy374]

GREAT video! cant wait to get my mosin rifle!

[codyrobert12]

7 people here are Russian spies that are jealous of an American that can take apart the bolt of their rifle!

[megaromaniac]

Fantastic tutorial. The best I've seen online. Great job man.

[oldairforcedude]

Excellent! I've had my bolt apart to clean and polish, works smoother, and used the tool to make sure my firing pin was where it was supposed to be. What a great shooting rifle, and accurate! Great tutorial, right on the money my friend.

[Ilanney]

yeah like "TheKaduke" said the riffles were created in 1891 but were actually re-vamped in 1930 and reproduced. they are great riffles though. I actually have a 1929 "91/30", if that makes any sence. it has the hex reciever. they are fun to shoot man!

[ajeap1]

Excellent video. I am thinking of buying one of these and this was very helpful. Thanks

[MarkGonzales1984]

Is the firing pin supposed to be receded when it's cocked? In other words, I'm only supposed to be able to measure it when it's decocked and turned left, correct?

[ukgene]

@MarkGonzales1984 Yes, I was wondering the same thing so I checked out a few more videos and that is how mine is also, you don't see this pin until it is turned to the left.

[MrTireBurn]

Thanks for the great video!

[lewdestbeast]

Thanks for the video, it was extremely helpful.

[glocknmysock]

Great video!

[destroyer4416]

nice an patiently done repeated nice instructional

[cruzere120]

mineral spirits to clean off the cosmoline

[GIZMO8Z]

Excellent, this video helped me a lot! If I could make one suggestion, it would be to break up this long video into specific sections of what you're talking about. For example, if you have your bolt in pieces and you're at your wit's end trying to put it back together... it could be frustrating to sit through 6mins before getting your problems answered.

[bvscfanatic]

Excellent video. Thank you!!!

[killermonkeyboy12345]

i bought the one i have about 2 months ago at a gun show in bloomington il for $130 mine is dated 1938

[chillywit]

That is one clean looking Mosin. Where did you purchase it? 

[majahack]

Best tutorial on YouTube. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks.

[westbank23]

Great vedio I'm getting mines in a couple of days

[foxesV]

GOD, thank you for being so clear and concise. For some reason, getting it back together was a total bitch for me.

[711dylan12345]

great vid everything i needed

[yambo59]

thanks much for the detailed info, Ive been looking at these and its helpful to know the particulars on something like this before making a purchase or firing one after a complete 'de-cosmolization" - lol Where did you get your particular gun from, im wondering which of the many sources is the best. thanks, Mike

[putamatheray]

Thank you Sir for the great video.

[FabioCrow07770]

I Just ordered one of these,can't wait to get it.

[or2169]

Great Video. Thank you for the 411.

[alazz912]

Hey Jeff i was just surfing the web looking at vids about how to clean dissamble remove cosmiline etc etc on a mosin nagant i recently purchased.. and i starting watching this vid and i was like.... wait a second i know that voice...HOLY SHIT ITS JEFF!!! I never knew you had one of these rifles!

[chitown1966]

fantastic job. I'm buying my first one tomorrow and this video was very helpful

[nobanninglol]

Thank you C.L. for making this video. It was a very detailed video and I'm glad you made it. I've only watched a few of Iraqi Veteran's vids, but this is definitely going into my faves for future reference.

-A future M38 owner

[MrBerretaboy]

thats weird becouse isnt the part at 7:04 the safty i havent got one yet bur I am this week.

[sabhacker101]

PLEASE SOMONE ANSWERE THIS QUESTION: i have a mosin nagant 91/30 made in 1939 witch hasnt been cleaned in a long time and i myself have put a siginaficant amount of rounds through it . is cosmoline removal the only way to clean a rifle or is the way with the bore snake ect enough

[Megal0rdCP]

@sabhacker101 Well if you've been shooting it, it probably didn't have any cosmoline in it, and if it did you are very lucky not to have a catastrophic failure. Cosmoline was what it was preserved with, not a cleaning method. Just clean it like any other rifle, but I assume you have been using corrosive ammo use Hoppe's because it will neutralize the salts left behind

[sabhacker101]

@Megal0rdCP thx

[rjdrums26]

well cool, i now learned some of what the multi-tool is actually used for, other than the flat head end haha

[WNCBikeRider]

Great!

[joejoe2191]

Great video. I just bought my first mosin a have watched more than a few videos on the inital cleaning and disassembly.This was definitely the most helpful concerning the bolt assembly. Thanks for taking the time to make the vid

[radicalDeparter]

@joejoe2191 quoted for truth. I got stuck on that last part where you turn the bolt to 12 o' clock... the long piece and the stubby piece kept falling off. after watching you turning it about 6 times, i realized i was pulling the twisty part out of the groove of the long piece.

So yeah, thanks cutlerylover, you 'da man

[novarod]

This is an outstanding presentation on the breakdown and adjustment of the Mosin Nagant Bolt. Thank you!

[UkrainianDragon1993]

4:40, I didn't know the mosin nagant had built in plyers lol = ). Just kidding, it's a great fuckin' rifle.

[henrixman99]

can you go into some more detail on adjusting the firing pin? mine doesnt protrude far enough and i tried tightening it on the back, now i can't seem it get the firing pin off.

[bruteeliminater]

It says 7.62x54mm on the rifle what makes him think its a .30cal

[MegaTrailerparkboys]

@bruteeliminater the slug size in the 7.62x54r is the same size as a 30-06 wich is a 30 cal but the casing is the size of a 308

[totxmacher]

@bruteeliminater

7.62mm is the same as .30 caliber, that's what makes him think it's a .30 caliber.

[hillmillenia]

Very clear and helpful...thanks much

[natdikes]

Very helpful, much thanks

[chrisjyager]

I found this very video very helpful and thorough thanks for putting it up!!

[N0rthsideDonutz]

A very detailed and informative vid, nice to know I can now disassemble the bolt all the way to the spring. Thank You.

[samsplacci]

very useful vid as I just picked up my first Mosin-Nagant, great tips, I will be using this vid as my reference for my bolt disassembly! many thanks

[BlackF150SuperCrew]

Great video. Thanks for putting this out!

[xTwoTonTacox]

taco- $1.50

paper- $1.00

takes apart the spring in the bolt before watching the video... then hearing him say i can burn my face from hot gasses... priceless

[CassinoG]

That was absolutely a well done video- I learned plenty! Thanks!

[danny920538]

So when he puts it back in the 12 o'clock position after reassembly, its normal that the firing pin doesn't protrude out? I saw it in this video and the same thing happens with my mosin.

[MyBrainInc]

@danny920538 Yes. You're basically cocking the bolt to the firing position

[stitches611]

break free, good solvent for kosmoline

[Frank7G]

thank you so much bro



[mindfuckerification]

the decocker doesnt make sense to me. why wouldnt you just rack the bolt back?

[Lembry123]

7.62 means .30 cal just thought I would put that out there for you guys that are confused.

[shothecker]

great video man ...fixing to take mine apart in a few mins

[SakkaraCresties]

uummm...zombihunter your are misinformed sir....the 30 from 91/30 is for the caliber....the 91 is from the yr the design was accepted 1891....hence 91/30 means an 1891 design in 30 cal

[Th12teen]

@SakkaraCresties You are misinformed... The 30 is in fact derived from the year it was "modernized" ie 1930. The rifle does have a colloquial name derived from it's caliber, being the "three line" rifle.

[metisman100]

the decock is so that you do not put stress on the spring well it is in storage

[on17ful]

Dude what the hell. You know that piece that has the notch in it well and then how the firing pin has the two flats sides. Well guess what, that's your tool right their to tighten you firing pin to the right position. And also the two notches on the back of the charging handle is where you see if your firing pin is in the correct position it should be a fuzz further out the end of the charging handle and the flat head looking screw part should be in line with the notches on the charging handle.

[SPickens89]

Fires a 7.62 x 54r ("r"immed not "R"ussian) not a .30 cal. Although, the bullet is similar to a .30-06.

[veldshpay420]

@SPickens89 7.62 IS 30. cal lol....

[TheKaduke]

The 30 in 91/30 stands for 1930, not 30 cal. Rifle was introduced in 1891 and some were refinished in 1930 hence the 91/30s.

[glasseverywhere]

Thansk for the info I bought 2 mosins and i just removed the pin and it was full of cosmoline

[jdoolan21209]

Thanks for the great instructions!

[FrackleRackle]

my mosin didnt come with a multi tool. I lined the screw head up with the scratch and my pin seems to protrude as much as yours, should I be fine with that?

[DaveSamAnt2006]

Great job 

[dzld9]

I took the bolt apart following your instructions, now the bolt wont 'cock' the trigger has no resistance and wont stay forward. Any suggestions??

[ccl198888]

the back part of my bolt wont thread back into the firing pin, whats goin on? threads arnt striped or anything.

[wfield21]

Just bought my first 1930 TULA and your video is very very helpful, thanks!

[xxxbarricadexxx]

very helpfull video man, thanks for the effort...

[Sodiumreactor]

TY

[frankthebricklayer]

YOU THE MAN !!!! GOOD VIDEO !!!!!!!

[marlin336guy]

dude you saved my life with this video i couldnt put my bolt back together for the life of me

[Bloodklot]

So did the de-cocking mechanism work on the range? Do you recommend doing that? Did it leave an indentation?

[kornphr34k]

still cant reassembly mine worth a damn. when i was returning tht one piece from the 9 to 12 positon something moved and now its all jacked up. good video though

[f8talh8red]

@kornphr34k

just keep rewatching and wait till you see what you did wrong and the fix it!

[thrawjive]

fantastic video! thanks *very much*

[gangsta965084]

If you still have the mosin I'd love to trade a bnib bechmade full size grip for it!

[xXHARRYxCARREYXx]

thanks for the video dude it helped a lot!

[solidsnaker1992]

good video very informative although the numbers had the wrong deffinition but i bet somebody already mentioned that but good job

[unnaturaltragedy]

I can't be only one that made a verbal exclamation when they saw how insanely easy it was to remove the bolt.

[stmcmillan]

Hello, Thank you soooo much very clear and well executed video. I really appreciate it. I just purchased a Mosin Nagant from Cabelas. Mine did not come with this tool/depth gauge for the firing pin. So, gonna go chasing that down next. Awesome work thanks again.

[PiGood]

Bad..... You use the Mosin tool to remove the firing pin. Yes that nice little tear drop multi-tool that comes with the mosin use that. The last notch, the big one actually fits across the firing pin in front of the bolt handle, you can then unscrew your firing pin from the rear half of the bolt.

[Thugnificent34]

I know this video is a year old but I just wanted to thank you for posting this video.I recently purchased a Mosin Nagant 91/30 and finally got around to cleaning it. This video was extremely helpful and now all I have left to do is the "sticky bolt" mod/repair that Iraqvet8888 posted. Thanks again...

[Southerly93]

Very informative and simple to understand. Thanks

[rayzar94]

Just a quick piece of advice, clean the gun after EVERY TIME you fire it if your using corrosive ammo, the salt will damage the insides.

[gimppower003]

mah-seen  naw-gahn

[kenzo5716]

Great video. I just got a Nagant and need to clean the cosmoline off it and re oil it. Thanks!

[JohnnyPostman]

Thanks very much for the video - just bought a 91/30 myself and this was helpful in taking down the bolt to clean off the cosmoline.

[kellychannell]

Like your vid man! Do you know about the safety? Knob on rear of bolt, while in forward position pull back and rotate left or right. Weapon will not fire.

[ThePatrick6122]

@kellychannell I wouldn't call it a saftey because it is way to hard to pull back if you need to pull the trigger real quick at least on mine

[captainhowie175]

good looking weapon, thanks for the info

[swf91856]

Very helpful, thanks........................­..

[fastdyna]

nicely done, thanks for making it easy to follow along

[jcsump]

Great Vid! Thanks..

[classicjag76]

4 people are too slow to understand a very thorough, yet simple explanation of the Mosin bolt and its parts...thanks for this video!

[SerasPhilly]

[Dragonego]

Very helpful. I'm going to purchase my first Mosin Nagant 91/30 tomorrow, very helpful info and Tutorial, Thanks.

[richer4poorer]

Great Vid, I bought some for my boys and we are going to go through them together. Then I will build and customize one for myself. Thanks again, and I will check out iraq vets stuff.

[alejandrosantana1991]

I found this video to be very helpful while I was assembling my rifle back together. Thanks for making this video

[UNIONPACIFIC1]

what do i use as a cosmoline alternative cause i no there is suppose to be a thin layer of a substance like it but what do i use

[1986chevylover]

@UNIONPACIFIC1 i use rig its made by birchwood casey now

[UNIONPACIFIC1]

[shoemakerleve9]

Thanks! It helped alot!

[09FLHT]

Thanx for the vid,i was get my arse whooped tryn to get the bolt assy back together!Very helpful!

[andlyndav]

how about a disassembly with the synthetic stock option? it requires a new bolt.

[HydroStatikShock]

Great video!

[xreddeadx]

can you remove the ejector?

[marinenick100]

Where is a good place to buy one of these on the internet

[Capta1nTaterS]

@marinenick100 Aim surplus dot com has some for about 69$

[usamachinist]

@marinenick100 J&G sales has them pretty cheap, several variations of them from about $79. to $99. or so! Round reciever and Hex reciever's!

[pigeon723]

You produced an excellent video on this assembly and dis-assembly of the Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle bolt. Best I've seen. As for cosmolene removal, use Charcoal Starter Fluid. This was brought to my attention by "TheNagantMan" videos here on YouTube. Works great and desolves cosmolene on contact.

[mggoalie30]

cheaperthandirt (dot) com sells them cheap. you just have to make sure you check when there in stock they go fast.

[kayaker200227]

Dude Thank you SO much, very helpful.

[BoostedTT91]

Where can you purchase one of these? Can't find anyone that has them

[TimmyJ1597]

@BoostedTT91 big 5:D $99 there so fucking cheap

[pigeon723]

"TheNagantMan" recommends Charcoal Starter Fluid to clean Cosmoline from firearm parts. It works great and desolves cosmoline on contact. Just lookup "TheNagantMan."

[AgeOfDarkness94]

quick tip on getting oil or cosmoline out of wood or antique guns.... stick it n the shower the next time you take one or stick it in the dishwasher. steam does wonders at breaking down that russian goop

[Z0mb3hHunt3r]

The "30" comes from 1930, hence when it was redesigned.

[exmarine85]

Thanks for the video.

My son took his bolt apart and had trouble getting it back together.

With your video it is now ready to "rock and roll"!

[bigrockslider]

so i am almost 99.9% sure 91/30 means it was designed in 1891 and redisigned in 1930. the first ones pre 1930 where called m1891 and they where redesigned in 1930 hence the 91/30. nice video i have 5 nagants

and

1 - 1933 Izhevsk hex

2- 1938 tula rounded

1 - M1891/59

1 - M1938 carbine

Best guns i own for the cost

[TheTravelingbard]

just got my Mosin yesterday, love it already :D

[FerociousSniper]

extremely helpful. cant wait to get one of these

[Olah92sVids]

@FerociousSniper you won't regret it, I just got mine a few days ago and it's really fun to shoot. 

[cookiesonsteve]

wow next time I need toenail clippers...

[HGV3XX]

Very good video. thanks, was having some troubles reassembling bolt. It's back and ready to rock.

[pintofshite]

excellent video, thanks for uploading

[itstheowner]

great video. appreciate the detail.

[locoken]

Thanks for the video!  Very detailed and good info. Just bought one myself from a local store with the hex receiver made in 1925. Found that the extractor was fragile and almost broken off. Just before I decided to comment here I looked at it again and it broke off completely. Gonna take back the gun to see if I can swap out the bolt part with the extractor 'cuz I want to keep the rest. Anyway, thanks for posting this. Enjoyed watching it and it was vet helpful!

[jamiebrinck]

Thanks for the detailed info. I just bought a 91/30 and found this vid very helpful.

[ketamine4u]

As I pushed on my firing pin to unscreww the pin from the carrier, the firing pin rotates and does not loosen. Any ideas? Loved the detail of your video, great job!!!

[hahaland74]

@ketamine4u , is the firing pin spinning on the table while you spin the top? If so, try to loosen the end of the firing pin with a screwdriver while holding the outer part, it might be stuck and needs to be loosened.

[akdude182]

i usualy find bits of primer in the bolt of my frends m91\30 and nether of us have ever had gas in our faces

[nchoate92acdc]

you rock

[americanindependent1]

Its people like you that help youtube remain as a valuable tool

[MrSKSkill]

That Jewelers loop is bad badass brother

[MrSKSkill]

I agree 5:34.

[775pacman]

Good vid mate. I've learned many things from this vid

[775pacman]

Good vid mate. I've learned many things from this.

[panzarw]

or i heard you can simply boil the bolt or the parts in water...

[TheForgot1234]

Thanks a lot man, video really helped.

[GnCW]

Great video! I figured out most of it on my own but was GLAD to get a very detailed walkthrough to go along with my exploration. :D. Thanks!

[justchaosX]

does this hurt to shoot? ive shot a 22 and the kick was unnoticible, what about a this rifle

[fatvader64matto]

NICEE thanks i did it as i watched and i didnt get stuck or anything thanks alot

[Eagleguts]

Excellant, I like the "LET ME SHOW YOU THAT AGAIN" which I always understood better the second time. I knew a gun dealer who used to get lots of guns packed in grease, anyway he used to take a row of them to the car wash lean them agains't the wall and put in some quarters and blast away, then bring them to the shop and finish cleaning and oiling

[cheeple]

I took my mosin nagant to the range for the first time the other day, shot 25 rounds no problem, do I still need to check my firing pin periodically?

[outlaw653]

Thank you for the video, it made the process very simple.

[tomtbs]

Most helpful ! ! ! good info, just bought one just before Xmas.

[ManlyNerd7]

I would have been screwed without this video, thanks for posting!

[Speedogg138]

Jeff, I just unwrapped one for Christmas, Cosmoline and all! This video will help me as well. =D

[420JohnnieBoi]

@Speedogg138 lol me to!

[mistergreene2]

i'm not sure if someone has told you this or not and I don't wanna be a know-it-all but the numbers are actually both years

it was originally designed in 1891 and was re-designed in 1930

merry christmas
