Much Better!

Formerly Fugly has new bolt parts!

The new cocking piece sleeve and wavy washer front bolt bushing have definitely improved the bolt throw!

Old wavy washer front bolt bushing and new.  Not much wave left in the old one.


Old cocking piece sleeve and new.  The complete circle at both ends prevents it from spreading and fighting the cocking on open.



Huzzah!

We're still money and points ahead of sportifying a Mosin.  About the only thing a sportified Mosin has over something like a mid-80's Savage is cheap ammo.

Cheap ammo isn't always a panacea for a gun you're trying to make more accurate.
