I have a 91/30 and two M44's and with all 3 of them it takes a whole lot of effort to work the bolt after firing. It's no problem at all when just cycling without shooting.
Is this a common issue with Mosin's or did I forget to clean something or possibly put the bolt back together wrong? All of them came fairly caked in cosmoline and I completely disassemble the bolts for cleaning. I'm almost positive I put everything back together right though. I followed the guide on surplusrifle.com.
