Mosin-Nagant issue

[cstone]

I will defer to Bert, but I believe there are different sized bolt heads available and some work can be done to most bolt heads to assist with headspace on a Mosin.

Such a simple design and very effective. If I had to manufacture 100 million effective battle rifles, I could only use 13 man hours per rifle, and my budget was 15 Rubles per rifle, I wouldn't think real long or hard about which design gets chosen.

You gotta admire the Russians for their reliability to cost ratio. I've put over 700 rounds through mine without a single failure.
