mosin bolt problem

[kar98k]

Not exactly true as if you have that screw that is on the safety knob set wrong the bolt will go into the rifle and the rifle may fire. With my dad's rifle, everything worked with the exception of the safety not being able to be placed in the on position.

the firing pin? that's the only screw i can think of. yes it will go in if the slots are not aligned properly, but that's not technically assembled wrong. it's just not screwed in well enough

The firing pin, yes. I spent an hour trying to figure out why the thing wouldn't work. Everything matched another bolt I had to compare it too. It came that way from the arsenal unless someone at Dunhams was messing with it. Very simple to fix but hard to notice it as the problem.
