I'm sure you're all wondering when I will stop posting Mosin questions everyday, but that day is not today. I went to the gun store today and picked up my Mosin then took it to the range. When i got there i found the cocking piece wouldnt stay locked back ready to fire. After tinkering around for a few minutes i found that if i manually pulled the cocking piece back it would eventually lock in place, and i would be able to fire the gun. Another thing that i noticed was that trigger freely wiggles. when you slide the bolt forward and turn the bolt arm down to lock it in place, the trigger just jitters as the bolt moves over it. Finally i discovered that if i tilt the rifle up and pull back the bolt the bolt just slides out as if i were pressing the trigger to release the bolt. My personal guess is that its a trigger problem, possibly with a spring or something, but i've never worked on a nagant before, and am not too sure. Im going to go back to the place i bought it from tomarrow afternoon and see if they will take it back, but i have a funny feeling that they won't. So if any of you have any suggestions on what you think may be wrong, and how to fix it, your help would be wonderful. I know i'll proably end up having to take it to a gunsmith (grrrr) but i'd at least like to have a general idea of whats wrong with my rifle before i go.
Thanks in advance for all the help : )
