I recently bought a Mosin from a person and attempted to shoot it today only to find out the bullet gets hung up while trying to load it into the chamber. I put a mark on the bullet and found at around the 5 oclock spot a spot that looks like theres maybe a burr inside the barrel catching it. It leaves like a scrape mark. I looed as best as I could and can't seem to find anything. What options do I have? Is there some sort of a round file I can use?. Does it need professional help or should I just chalk one up for getting shafted? There has to be a way to fix this..any suggestions would be appreicated..Thanks

  I want to add a Mosin Nagant to my very small collection. For those of you who are into these thing, which models, years, and arsenal marks (I assume Tula) are most desireable? What are the best sources?
  
  Thanks, JCS44

  Try http://www.mosin-nagant.net/ There are a few more decent sites out there, but this is the most informative I have found. Good shooting!

  I have found the many forums on the 'net to be an endless source of info for Mosin Nagants.
  
  Well, I can't post 'em here I guess.....

  Answer to most common MN question is......pull the cocking knob back and turn clockwise.
  
  Most common MN question is.........Where's the safety on this thing ?
  
  I also know where a few MN lovers hang out, but this site won't allow posting their address

  Thanks, Tailgunner, but I found the safety pretty easily. I think I'd heard it mentioned before on the forum, though. Another question, though: mine shoots a little left, is there a way to adjust the sights?

  You need to move the front sight to the left (hammer & punch, or one of those sight moving tools) If you have one of the M-44 carbines with the bayonet attached, try shooting a group with the bayonet extended, might make a difference (I read that on another board)

  Thanks again, Tailgunner. That's kind of waht i thought. Is there anywhere online I can find out how to take this bad boy apart so I can really clean it?

  Anyone know where I can get that sight pushing tool? The hammer and puch don't seem to be working. I've seen them for AK's but never Mosins.
