This is probably the most asked forum question in firearms, but so far most previous forums haven't helped me figure it out.
I have a Mosin Nagant, dated 1895, with a matching barrel and bolt. When I try to chamber a live round, a dummy, or an empty case, the bolt does not close. I cannot even force the bolt shut. The rounds fully seat in the chamber, and do not stick out. The chamber, the extractor, the bolt face, have all been cleaned and some have been polished. It doesn't close even after swapping bolt faces and bolts.
What's next? Any ideas?
