My brother purchased two 1943 Mosin's and is having issues with both of them. When he fires the bolt will freeze and has to be pushed up with great force on one to eject the shell casing.
On the other rifle even if you can get the bolt up and back sometimes the empty casing has to be pushed out with a cleaning rod from the breech.
He has taken them both down from the wood, disassembled the bolts and cleaned them scrubbed and cleaned the barrels with butches bore shine and a brass brush and still the hanging bolt. Any suggestions?
