I got a second Mosin 91/30 about 2 weeks ago from Blythes in Valpo. They had them for $99. I already have one 91/30. The new 91/30 is a 42 Izzy and the top of the fore stock has brass end caps instead of the black painted aluminium ones. I'll post pictures later.
I have my new 91/30 cleaned up and free of cosmoline. I noticed one issue with it. When you chamber a round the bolt is hard when locking it down. I disassembled the bolt and it is free of any cosmo and crud. It's not a big issue, the bolt will close but you need to use a little extra force. My other Izzy 91/30 is very smooth to operate. Is this the sticky bolt issue mosins have?
