Re: Mosin Nagant safety

Pull the knob back the bolt and turn to the left, physically locking it in a notch so the knob/firing pin will not fall when the trigger is pulled. One may need a cable and winch to accomplish this. And then one needs to perform the task again, rotating to the right, to release. Absolutely keeping anything clear of the trigger during this process. The mechanism does cock the gun during this process. It is also cocked when opening the bolt after firing.

:iagree: with the idea that bolt open is best safety on this gun. The safety between my ears comes into play as well, and as always.....
I'm with you on this....Just open the bolt or have it unloaded for "safe" operation.
