So I just picked up a cool M44 Mosin Nagant that is in remarkably good shape. I have read everywhere that they have a 5round magazine. Does this really mean that the mag holds 4 and 1 in the chamber means 5 for a 4 round mag capacity? If I hand load them from the top, there is about 0.1 inch of the top round and rim on the 5th round that won't let allow the bolt to be closed. I even tried loading them from the bottom with a closed bolt through the bottom of the magwell. Won't close. Is this normal, is it really a 4round mag?
Also. it appears that to adjust the windage on these takes a screwdriver, hammer, and some finess to bend the front sight pin (similar to a WASR or AK style blunt force method). Is this how everyone does it? I'm not going to buy a 30 dollar tool to use once on a 130.00 gun.
