She fired beautifully. Fairly accurate as well. (Here ya go Fledge!

First Shot - Single
At this point I tested the sear and dropped rifle from about 6" onto a block of wood and firing pin did not release. After that I loaded a couple more rounds.
2 Shots after Sear test
After the second shot I noticed the front barrel band sliding out of position. I think I need a shim in place being the gap is closed. The band does have holes for screws to secure but I do not have them.
The range I had available today was only 50 yards. I feel I did pretty well for first time and iron sights. I was pink, brother is green.
After firing the last round I took a look at the casing and noticed a split. Is this an issue?
And took a couple before we wrapped up......
Overall I was very impressed with my Mosin, Shoots just as well and smooth as a modern firearm. Amazing.
Got home and cleaned her up and realized how much smoother and better the bore looked. All she needed.
