Troubleshooting a mosin

[Sam7sf]

Just seeing what your thoughts on troubleshooting a mosin that’s kind of gunked up are.

I’m thinking the action needs a hotdog, IMO.

Don't leave it in an upright position in the future with mischievous Sugar Babies on the loose!!

WTF? That's not going to help the accuracy... lol

 

[SloppyShooter]

Note to self, don't keep Sugar Babies in the ammo box.

Never feed Cosmoline after midnight.

But seriously, what the heck is that?

 

[Sam7sf]

Lol it’s an old photo off the web. Thought it would be fun to post on here and make people scratch their head.

 

[SloppyShooter]

You caught me, but, it wasn't my head!

How did you get the beans above the frank?

Some torture tests I don't understand. I understand dirt, mud, sand, water, etc... Those are things that could happen. Dropping it 6 feet.. I get it... but throwing stuff in there like this is just wrong and embarrassing. In topic related events.. a metal piece has fallen off of my stock.... I don't want to "repair" it incorrectly by using wood glue or something like that. I'll bring it to the meet up to show you guys what I mean. I am trying to keep my mosin in as original condition as possible. Any ideas?

Do you have pictures of the metal piece/area?


(Ya know....... I had to rewrite my post trying to keep it out of OOC thread. )

Sorry, I'm at a loss... Is it a barrel band keeper (?) ?

What model is it?

 

[Sam7sf]

It’s what retains the barrel band

<goes to pull out Mosins>

 

[Darkpriest667]

The barrel band must be gone then or n ever existed because I dont believe there is one on there. I'll have to go recheck


EDIT -- Just rechecked... Its just a piece of metal in the stock.. the barrel bands are both in the correct place.

You should be able to knock out the broken pin and replace it with another spring. Trick will be finding one. Depends on which model you have.

Here's a domestic vendor for a lot cheaper. It say's in stock but I can't be sure.
