I've bought another Finn M39 (a '42 SKY). I've cleaned the metal, disassembled the bolt, cleaned the cosmo from everything and reassembled. Clened the residual cosmo crud from the chamber (I 'v done this with my other Mosins, so I know how important it is to get the chamber very, very clean to prevent the dreaded sicky bolt syndrome., But when I dry fire the rifle, the bolt is very hard to cycle, but once the trigger is pulled the action is very smooth, smoothly cock the bolt and pull the trigger and the bolt is hard to cycle again, Remember, there is no rounds being fired (yet) just dry firing for functional check.
Any ideas?
