I got a re-arsemaled M38 with matching bolt and reciever the other day, and I am noticing that when the bolt is pulled all the way back, to the point where pulling the trigger lets it fall out, it kinda jiggles, around a little. Is this normal or should I be concerned? If so what can I do to fix it? I have not shot the rifle yet.

Also, I can't find my arsenal marking, where should I look for it?


On an unrelated note, what would be a good idea (with links if possible :D ) for a way to carry spare Saiga 10 rnd 7.62x39 mags? I figure a pouch intended for 30rnd AK mags would be too big, but I am not sure what else would have a nice fit. I may be going on my first hog (well, anything) hunt in the next month or so and if I decide to use my Saiga with Wolf SP ammo, I would want a place for my spare mags. FYI, this guy has hogs all over his property, and he says a semi-auto with spare mags would be a good idea. My Mosin will presumably work for this, altought I havent shot it yet, and it came with an ammo pouch.
 
Mosin bolts jiggle. Some more, some less. Mosins are crude, ugly things. But they are excellent tools. They are reliable, decently accurate, and they double as a sledgehammer/nail driver. :D
