I recently purchased a Mosin-Nagant still in the cosmoline and disassembled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled. I triple-checked the firing pin height to make sure it is set within the tolerance.
I haven't had the chance to fire it yet but I have testing it with snap caps for feed, firing pin alignment, ejection, etc. I am having trouble closing the bolt when chambering a round. The action is very smooth with no round, and if I partially open the bolt with the snap cap in place and then close again the bolt functions smoothly and easily. I disassembled and reassembled the bolt again to make sure all is correct but there was no change.
Have I missed something or is this just a characteristic of the rifle?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
