Need Help
I bought a Mosin Nagant rifle at the last gun show and some surplus ammo. Chambering the cartridge was difficult and required a sharp thump with my hand to close the bolt. Someone told me they thought it may be the ammo which was Albanian, and had a history of being hard to chamber. I ordered some Norma brass and while waiting for that to come I removed the bolt and tried to put the cartridge head into the bolt head under the extractor. Difficult. When forced in, it was too tight to turn with the fingers. I took a couple cartridges and milled 1-2 millimeters from around the rim. Worked fine. Bolt closed easily, no signs of excessive headspace on the case after firing. Meantime the Norma brass arived; same problem I had with the Albanian. I'm convinced that it is the extractor extending too far into the bolt head recess. Is there any way I can grind a little off the extractor or am I going to cause more headaches when I start this? I can just continue to remove brass from the rims, but this is just a band-aid. From some of the sites I have monitored, others are having this problem. Any ideas??

A friend purchased a Beretta 92 SB today at a gun show. It has a 7 shot mag. Is this a current made pistol? Nobody I have talked to knows about a 7 shot mag. Anyone got any info on this weapon. Thanks for any info. Sam.
