Legal gun owner stops armed robbery
Only a matter of time before he is arrested for stopping crime I imagine
Fucking that’s not the channel I looked up
Brent is USMCR and does a lot of videos mostly camo tests
Holy shit this clusterfuck of a process all in a super fucking awesome little box
Crate opened godly though
don't get shit on the shitter
@Miss Direction How's the bolt on the Mosin? One of the main issues people have with the Mosin is the sluggishness of the bolt.
The only issue I encountered comes when pushing the bolt to the right (back to its original position); though, I have yet to remove the cosmoline (I do so this weekend). Once I remove the cosmoline completely, I’ll order the ammunition, @DrWittMDPhD.
Also, the trigger requires only 3-4 pounds of pressure.
Hmm I hope removing that cosmoline fixes it. But if it feels gummy, that's generally typical of Mosin bolts
Yes, @DrWittMDPhD. IraqVeteran8888 uploaded a video about smoothing it, if I recall correctly.
Oh cool. Afaik the main problem with Mosins is due to the fact that they aren't made with strict tolerances, so if you can fit your parts better maybe the rifle would work better?
As a Mosin owner, I've made a point of learning to completely break my Mosin down to components. If it sticks, and I can't lube it, there's something wrong with the part.
lol
cosmoline is going to come out of the stock; shouldn't be coming out of any of the metal interfaces
a tight lockup on the lugs is probably good
you can get a gunstore to use a go/nogo gauge to be 100% sure that it's safe but a little tightness there is expected since that's the primary bearing surface (Other than the cartridge itself)
you can get someone to do a custom fit pretty easily by hand polishing or milling but I would not recommend it without taking it to someone qualified
I have helped with doing the measurements for taking meat off the locking lugs; it's a pretty scary operation tbh.
I didn't trust myself to do manual milling and take off a couple thousandths of material to ensure completely accurate alignment with the barrel extension

I cleaned the cosmoline from the bayonet & the Mosin-Nagant's multi-tool set, @EndangeredProdigy. 😁
i tore mine down the other day and cleaned the hell out of everything
i dont even fire corrosive ammo but man did it need it
doing a detail strip and borrowing someone's ultrasonic cleaner is a good plan
lol
@Miss Direction After I did all that, I ended up restaining the stock on my Mosin. The original had speckles from where the cosmoline had ruined the original stain.
I feel my brain cells dying just listening to them...
