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

These are Romanian Mosin Nagants, 7.62x54, folding bayonet, bolt action, fixed 5 round mag.
Price: $59
I know handguns, but little on rifles.
Any info on accuracy, availability/cost of ammo, reliability, price etc would be appreciated.
My gun is prettier than yours, and it's a Glock!
Thanks, JCS44
Surplus ammo is available, Winchester has a line of FMJ for it, and Norma sells softpoints, I think S&B is also bringing in ammo for it.
They are rugged and reliable but a bit loud with a pronounced muzzel flash. Accurcy varies from fair to good, cartridge is in the .303 Brit/30-06 power range. It is a easy cartridge to reload for.
The Nagants are not easy to scope due to the split bridge design, but, their is a scout type mount that replaces the rear sight.
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

I think I have one that's been sporterized with a real nice stock. Let me know if you want me to check on it. All my guns are locked up in large safes. I have an inventory list to go by, but it doesn't give all the details. I'm located in So. Maine.

They are beiong sold at "Big 5 Sporting Goods," Locations in phoenix and tucson. ANyone else interested check out their number on www.yellowpages.com, and the number should be there. The people there are real nice, and they would probably be willing to work on shipping em out to you interested guys.
I may have to pass on this one, I gotta spend my money getting my transportation in working order again. Tennis shoes are okay, but working wheels is better

$2.99/box? We are talking about 7.62x54R, right? Average around here is $6/box. I came across some military for $4.99/box the other day. Haven't shot it yet, though.
