Re: Mosins

With my limited experience, I've found after removing EVERY bit of cosomoline, it dramatically reduces sticky bolt. Another cause in Mosin-Nagants can be the ammo itself. Most people myself included love that 1954 vintage bulgarian surplus, but occasionally it will cause a slight overpressure to develop in the chamber (sometimes splitting the brass), and make that bolt as immobile as Houston traffic. I completely agree, the more Mosins, the better, as I'm up to a M91/30 and 2 M44s.
The ATI stock is really better suited to the carbine as helps redistribute the recoil forces more evenly across your shoulder, though, 7.62x54R is still a full power cartridge and can after several hours at the range, destroy your shoulder.
