Mosin M39

[Bob]

How do I release the cleaning rod. Please don't tell me it's simple...Bob

 

[TheIndifferent1]

Does it not just unscrew?

 

[PerversPépère]

Yep!
PP.

 

[TheIndifferent1]

We should have given him a more complicated explanation

 

[H Wally]

For starters you're going to need to sacrifice a goat. Make sure to collect it's blood and count every hair on it's body, you'll need that number later...

On my M39, I had to loosen the front band just a bit, then put a punch into the cleaning rod's hole, and unscrew it. That sucker was TIGHT when I first got it.

I'll check tonight, when I couldn't unscrew it last time I started looking for a button or lever. Will pull out the pliers and a piece of leather later...Bob
