Hi fellows milsurp fans
Since Mosin Nagant are so plentiful and affordable, maybe a bit of info to how take the bolt appart and tools in the cleaning kit may help someone.
Bolt disassembly
First,bolt must be decocked. Simply graps the cocking knob and the bolt handle and turn the handle to the right.
Pull the bolt head and the connecting bar from the bolt body.
To separate the connecting bar from the bolt head, rotate the head clockwise until it stop and pull the head away.
To remove the firing pin, note the relation between the firing pin and the cocking knob.
Rest the tip of firing pin against a non slip surface or object. Fully push on the pin to compress the firing pin spring then unscrew the cocking knob. Slowly allow the spring to relax and take the firing pin out of bolt body.
Bolt disassembled.
Reassembly in reverse order. After reassembly, the firing pin protusion should be checked with the firing pin gage tool. The tool have 2 notchs marked 75 and 95 but some tool dont have number. Usually, the deepest notch(95) is used for checking. See the tool on the pic below, the nocth marked with the red arrow is a wrench for the firing pin and to screw the cleaning jag on the cleaning rod.
Firing pin check.
To adjust, turn the pin using the tool, the pin can be also turned on the back of cocking knob using the screwdriver end of the tool.
The slot on the firing pin must align with the mark on cocking knob.
