Safety, what's a safety?

I have no problems with any of my 10 Mosin Nagants, and I'm no he man.

Was that stock made from steele wool?

Hi! (I got only one, I'm poor) It's the same, hard to engage due the compression of the spring. And I don't like when I release it. You're not in a war theater (I suppose), so I belive is better when you take away tho bolt block. It's more easy, more safety and very quick :super: .

The best safety is correct gun management and common sense, only point the gun at what you intend to shoot ( except for the mother in law) only kidding

:D :D :D Good advice !!! I must have it in my mind... :D :D :D

Can you imagine the field officer's response to a soldier's complaint that the safety is difficult?: "Safety? Is gun! Is not supposed to be safe!" :dunno:

Keep yer booger picker off da bang switch, or load the chamber with an empty brass, no need to fumble with the "safety" either way.

huh, unless your chugging this thing around hunting, whats wrong with a open bolt and heck throw in a empty chamber flag for extra measure.
I recieved my first mosin a week ago, Did not know it had a safety:confused:
When I figured the safety out while cleaning, I then smoothed out the areas where it moves and turns with a quick polish useing some 800grit emry cloth.
Maybe it is just me but mine has some tension on it but not so much where it is a hassle?

The using safety is like using Mosin charger clips. Not worth the effort in almost every case. If you plan on walking around with a loaded Mosin, simply push down on the last round in the magazine and close the bolt on an empty chamber. When ready to fire, just work the bolt.

If it is really necessary to utilize the safety, you may want to consider that ebay ring item. It may not make it any easier, since the spring is what is making it hard to turn, though.

Good luck.

Since I don't hunt with the Mosin and only use it for punching paper, I load a round, lock it up, and fire. Case closed. "Safety, I don't need no stinking safety"-to loosely quote a movie sequence.
