I know, I know, it sounds crazy but the gun won't feed.
My question is this: Can you help me out with figuring out my problem?
Let me describe the situation.
As most Nagant owners do, I use stripper clips to load my rifle. They were designed for the use of the stripper clips. Another "duh". But the thing is, a lot of the time, the gun will lock up without loading a round. The bolt just hits the rim of the shell and stops.
I know for a fact that the Mosin Nagant isn't supposed to do this.
However, when I load with a stripper clip, then empty out the magazine through the floor plate, then load all but one round in down past the interruptor, then take the last round and place it in the chamber, it will lock up on two or so rounds out of the five.
Can anyone give me some advice? Do I have a bad interruptor? What's the deal?
Thanks in advance,
