    When you get it unstuck, clean that chamber real well. Get a .45 bore brush. Screw it in to a length of cleaning rod. Chuck it into a drill. Remove the bolt and give that chamber a couple minutes of brushing. You could wind a little OOOO steel wool around the brush, put some Hoppes on it and brush it for a few more minutes.

    Also you should examine that ammo. Some of the milsurp ammo had lacquered cases, the lacquer will come off into the chamber when you fire it.

    Yep, the bolt starts extracting the case as you raise the handle. Stuck bolts on Nagants usually mean fouled chambers, laquered ammo, or excessive crud in the bolt. I'd also take a can of brake cleaner to the bolt (out of the gun of course) and then re-oil it. Sometimes the dirt and crap in the works can make unlocking the bolt a real chore. Good luck

    If it happens again, just drop the steel cleaning rod down the barrel, the bolt will open easily.
