Hello,

I have a Sestroyetsk M-91 Mosin, captured by the Finns. The bolt on it does not work properly, it is an extremely rough function, and after having a close look at it with my friend, CGN member "Nabs", we have determined that the prongs on the back of the bolt connecting bar are bent. I need a new connecting bar. Does anyone happen to have one in a junk bin laying around? If you have any other comments Nabs, just post a reply.

The piece I need is number 5 on the picture below.

I would prefer an imperial-era piece as my bolt is also of that kind. I am also looking for an imperial bolt head, as the one on my bolt is an early Tula Soviet. This is not as critical.

Thank you,
Drachenblut
 
Swapped out the bolt connector guide, that was partially bent at the end where the cocking piece is, with one off an M39 bolt and a Finnish M91 and found that the action of the bolt in question was greatly improved.

From what I can see, Mosin bolt parts seem to be almost universal in that you can, for instance, take a bolt head out of a M91/30 and put in on the bolt body that goes into an M38.

For now, the bolt in the Sestroyetsk can operate but you have to be somewhat rough with its operation.
 
Importing a complete bolt could be a problem but I think bolt parts themselves are exempted. Don't quote me on that though as it is up to Canada Border services to ultimately decide.
 
I might have something. I've got a Finn Mosin in transist from the US that has a bubba'd damaged bolt. I'm not sure what the damages are ( it was a throw-in deal), but I'll have extra parts for sure when it's all done.
I'll see how it works out and if I've got an extra we can probably work something out.
Good luck
 
Tradeex has compleat bolts and all the parts far as I know, price wasnt bad at all from what I remember I'd just get a whole bolt and set it aside for parts if I were you.
 
If it's just bent, since it's not taking the majority of the stresses anyways, might be able to just carefully bend it back with a small hammer and some hardwood blocks to protect the metal.

If you don't feel confident to do it though, don't. It's one of those things, if you have experience, it's strait forward. If you don't, it will just get worse.
