Thank you for this video! I subscribe to your channel and felt like going back through your older posts, and I'm glad I did! My Nagant didn't come with the accessories such as the firing pin no-go gauge, but thanks to this video I was able to discover that my pin was set .008 beyond the safe length. Now that I've corrected that I am sure I'll have much safer shooting! Thanks!
I just bought my first mosin at a gun show yesterday and I'm cleaning it today. I agree, this bolt is over-engineered as shit. It's almost like a manual rotating bolt design. Again, all this is ironic given that million were made over the course of 70+ years, most of them is soviet factories
Just got a Mosin Nagant 91/30. The tool that come with it only had 1 notch in it for unscrewing the firing pin from bolt after removing the head piece. No notches for measuring the firing pin protrusion. Thanks for putting the measurement in the caption in the video (not to exceed .095) so can measure with caliber. Another great video by the way.
@hawke917 my bolt cocking peace has ben ground down on the bottem to pit help is my nagant a messup it it was not ground the cocking peace would not fit why is this please help me
damn mine was really hard to pull off... then i got a piece of wood and set it on top there, and the bolt came apart super easy... Nothing like a good morning wood to disassemble a m91/30 bolt...
those marks on the bolt are because the soviets milled out the parts rather than just stamping them. milled out parts have a lot more integrity than stamped parts.
The reason the bolt is done somewhat sloppy is because the russians had to mass produce the weapon when WWII started, but other than that good job on the video... my grandpa thought i didnt know what i was doing when i started taking the bolt apart so i showed him this video haha
I just got a 91/30 from the local Fleet Farm ($100), took it home and disassembled/reassembled the bolt about like IV8888 just showed. You need to play with it a bit to make all the parts meet properly. My rifle was imported by CAI, and the disassembly manual they use is somewhat different, particularly with reference to handling firing pin removal/reinstall. As they say, horses for courses; either way will work, but IV8888's version may risk bending the firing pin.
