Shooting my Russian Mosin-Nagants, such as the M38, M44 and 91/30 turns into work after about 30, 40 rounds. It's a combination of the bolt and the stock, I think. And I am not even talking about "sticky bolt syndrome". Even if the chamber is free of cosmoline, working that bolt requires overcoming quite a bit of resistance. It is not nearly as smooth as a Mauser bolt. Here is my question: Is the Finnish M39 bolt any smoother? Is the stock design any better than the Russian? Any insight would be appreciated.
