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??

OK guys and gals I need help on this one. I am looking for a wooden stock for a p14 enfield. Any ideas would be welcomed 0 -
If this has the takedown button that the Woodsman has then the problem is the takedown button on the slide has slipped on the inside. I had one woodsman that about drove me nuts. 0 -
How do you get it back? 0 -
This should help, its how I learned to disassemble and reassemble my woodsman. http://www.colt22.com/ READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS ON DISASSY. AND REASSY. JUST LIKE IT SAYS TO DO!!! BOTH SETS OF INSTRUCTIONS, THE COLT VERSION AND THE AMERICAN RIFLEMAN VERSION.
