I shot my Mosin 91/30 for the first time today, and had fun! No sticky bolt, not very accurate, but loud. After cleaning with windex, then my usual cleaning regimen, I put everything back together.
Funny thing is, now the trigger just wiggles back and forth, unless you pull it all the way, then it works. The bolt also seems like its making some sort of extra rattle, and I noticed that if I cock it and close the bolt, it seems too easy to reopen it again. This seems odd.
The safety still works, and the bolt comes out when I hold down the trigger. It still fires (well, dry fires that is)
Before I break the entire thing down again, any ideas on what might be wrong? I was following the surplusrifle.com directions for bolt reassembly, and it seemed to go ok. Before I order a zillion rounds of surplus I want to be sure I didn't break it already...
Any thoughts?
