Fresnel ArmasTermin I've learned that the action of the firing pin being readied for firing is actuated by pulling the bolt up, and that bringing it to the rear only enables you to extract and eject. I always thought bringing the bolt back did all three actions. Remember I've had pretty much no extended interactions with bolt-action rifles. I've never understood why Mosin did that. That kind of action is inherently difficult to open with such a heavy spring on it. The SMLE action grabs the cocking piece to draw back the firing pin in the last half-inch of closing the bolt. This gives you a full three or four inches of bolt throw to build up momentum. It's a bit hard to slowly close the bolt, but you can slam it home with no problem whatsoever. And aside from the trigger and firing mechanism, it involves three parts: firing pin, pin spring, and cocking piece. Simple, rugged, reliable, user-friendly. Brilliant.
I can see how the mosin bolt may be hard to use for the more "Traditional" shooter that uses his or her fingers to grab the bolt handle. However, I use a loosely open palm to "slap" the bolt up and back, then slap forward and down. When I let people shoot mine and I see them having trouble with the bolt I show them how to use there whole arm instead of just their wrist to cycle and they stop having problems

It makes sense that way, I guess. You can't slap a bent bolt, though.

Fresnel Wow, that looks really, really good. I'd be damn proud to call that rifle mine, were I you. I was dreading what you'd done to it when I opened this page, I was expecting this: ![User Image](https://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh152/Fresnel149/1281319116280.gif)
Thanks, there are a few parts I'm not so proud of, that I wish I'd done better, but all in all I like how it turned out, especially for a first attempt. Would have touched up the bluing in some places if I'd had any of that stuff. I now have no reservations about buying "beat up" guns, so long as they work.
He he, did you make the picture? xd

He he, did you make the picture? xd I've got a bottle of cheap bluing stuff... tried it once, didn't work too well. Just ended up turning the silver steel slightly green. Also, bluing is a form of oxidation, and will eat through the edge of a knife, dulling it. The more you know, I guess.
Haha, no, I found it on /k/ and couldn't stop laughing. xd
