might try a dremel with a fine grit, if I get get it off gain that is lmao

Sticky bolt often has more to do with chunks of cosmolene hiding in the bolt recesses. I shot my mosin for a couple months with widely varying degrees of stickyness... then one day my brush got into the bolt recess and came out looking like I wiped my butt with it...

Stripped all the wood off and poured boiling water through it repeatedly... you would be amazed at the places that chunks of cosmolene poured out of.


As for the bayo - I've heard they were supposed to be hard to put on and take off, but I've also found that some fine grit sandpaper around a finger or piece of compressable material will polish the inside of the bayo ring until it goes on like a glove.

It was supposed to be a bugger to get on and off, otherwise the soldiers would take them off when they were not supposed to.I just used some fine grit sandpaper on a round wood dowel. It only took a few minutes to get it to loosen up a bit.

Man I just cleaned her out, I have hands like a mechanic now, scrapes and bruises lol. The bolt was a b*tch to put back together and so where the rings. I don't think this rifle has ever been taken apart before it was all so tight.

There are manuals online for this, some are free, some want cash for them. I try to make a print copy of all my rifles if I can.

I watched a video on how to do it, the problem was it was so tight I needed all my strength..

A little trick to teach you guys. This was tough to me in Russian factory.

When bayo is on pull it to the side so that the gap from bayonet to barrel gets wider (usually soldier put a small piece of branch or a finger in between, be careful thought) . Then gently tap on the end of bayonet with a smallest hammer in a house. It will pop out from first or second time.
No need to use special tools or sand paper.
Also try to shoot with bayonet on and off. It makes a difference if you are looking for good grouping.
I might have to do youtube video on this.
