Hi,
I'm about to buy my first Mosin from CT. I'm just wondering if the headspace, firing pin protrusion, etc is all good to go when you first take possession of the rifle. I know they've been thru the refurbing process, but was Yvan on the ball during refurb?
I guess my question is: Are they all safe to shoot right out of the box? Do I need to order headspace gauges, etc...
I bought a Mosin that didn't match serial number wise. My bolt matches my bayo and the floorplate is forcematched, the buttplate matches reciever....anyway i went with the Okie Headspace guages. i got the no-go and the field guages, which my mismatch bolt passed no issues. When you look at the back of the bolt as long as the firin pin is flush with the back of the bolt and the little guide marks line up, you should be ok. doesnt hurt to check it with the tool though... boiling water, good cleaning, light oil.
