Post by gabemojay »

First time to range with a never shot[by me] 91/30 today. Loaded 5 rounds and tried to close bolt but 1st round straightened out from its angled up position and nosed just below barrel. Worked just fine with 1 round in mag.......question....weak mag spring?

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I/E's can't have risen in price to the point where it would be more expedient to just replace it. If they have, I'm sittin' on a gold mine...... :brolleyes:
