Mosin Nagant Bolt Disassembly

[@XtremeConditions]

Literally the only straightforward, full explanation (with variations) on how to disassemble the bolt of... Literally one of the most common rifles on the planet... This was LONG overdue. Thanks, and fantastic video!

[@AstroBlender]

Haha, no problem I'm glad you liked it.

[@reubenrex7818]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@reubenrex7818]

@Aries Myles thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@reubenrex7818]

@Aries Myles It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@ariesmyles9553]

@Reuben Rex You are welcome :)

[@zanderhenley9717]

I was literally unscrewing it and as soon as he said “it’s under tension” my spring launched out across the room

[@fibalex1858]

[@xFinneasx]

Same

[@Scouten819]

hahah he beat me just to that part i was lucky to point it at my desktop

[@basedchris8784]

Me too! Lol

[@ChristiRich]

It was on its way to Russia!

Video gave me everything I was looking for without a three minute intro, thank you. Subscribed.

[@dentonsbackyardshow1013]

[@fratercontenduntocculta8161]

I was totally surprised by how simple disassembly was. Thank you for sharing this!

[@TrueAegis]

Great video! No random talking just straight to business. Thanks.

[@AstroBlender]

Thanks! Have a great 4th!

[@TrueAegis]

You as well

[@RantzBizGroup]

Yes, indeed... this was exactly what I needed, thanks for the time and energy to put it up on YT!

[@kylewithac1]

Just bought one of these from my local gun store. However, it was in battle worn condition and rusting all over. Thanks for showing us how to take it apart for cleaning! Best one out there.

[@joelstolarski2244]

I lucked into a battle worn, or stumbled into one I guess. Glad I didn't shoot a round,before checking bore. Looked like a hamster nested in it. Fouled beyond belief. Might have pulled a piece of a tooth out of it so far.

[@AstroBlender]

You're welcome, glad you found it helpful.

[@motorcitysteel9820]

I'm am a new owner of a 1942 Russian Mosin Nagant. This was a very helpful video. Thank you!

[@ericrasmussen2629]

Best Mosin dissassembly and assembly video on KZbin. Thank you very much

[@AstroBlender]

Eric Rasmussen You're quite welcome. I may make another one in even better HD soon.

[@mikescuba1]

Great, I watched two others and still couldn't make any sense out of them. This one made it look plain and simple. Good demonstration, well done. and many thanks.

[@edgarroop3689]

Until I watched your vid I didn't know there was more than one way to disassemble the bolt. Thanks for showing me an easier way. Good vid. I subscribed.

[@dewz440]

Excellent!! Best video I've seen for making the Mosin bolt disassembly and reassembly an easy task. Thanks!!

[@AstroBlender]

You bet!

[@seskers1]

OUTSTANDING!!!! Simple, easy to understand instructions. Thank you.

[@AstroBlender]

I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks.

[@seskers1]

Any other how to videos on the Mosin would be most appreciated.

[@sturny3698]

Very well done! I just picked up a Nagant, and your video is the first one I reviewed for the bolt takedown process. No need to search any further. TWO thumbs up, for sure!

[@AstroBlender]

sturny3698 Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@m0t0k0kusanagi]

I've owned one of these for a few years and didn't know the guide bar could be used to unscrew the firing pin - great video!

[@AstroBlender]

I am glad you learned something, thanks!

[@Raptus_Gaming]

It's kinda like how the tip of the bayonet can be used as a flathead screwdriver to screw/unscrew the reciever

[@diveguy7]

After watching several videos trying to find the best way to take the bolt apart....best one so far. thank you. thank you. thank you sir.

[@rush2124u2]

You should mention how to take out the bolt, out, not everyone knows to pull the trigger while pulling the bolt to release it. Nice touch 3 steps to remove the firing pin, very cool press against a soft surface and unscrew from the top, too easy, nice The video was well done and informative. Thanks

[@cbooher3]

This is the best video I've seen on this subject. Good job!

[@beng808]

Thanks for making such a clear video. I may or may not have accidentally dropped my bolt and it came apart. Thanks for helping me get it back together

[@Raptus_Gaming]

At least it's a russian rifle, so you know it's at least made well enough to be dropped without breaking

[@Tinstar2]

Outstanding instruction on breaking down the MN Bolt. I'm glad to know how to do this. Thanks!

[@AstroBlender]

No problem at all!

[@ultranitro437]

Thanks for this video! I was playing around with my bolt the other day and I almost had a heart attack when it started coming apart! I thought I had broke something.

[@joelstolarski2244]

Did the same thing. One I got is a mess. Soaked bolt in some tranny fluid and when rinsing it off, damn thing came apart. Already a franken gun, and figured it decided to destroy itself. lol.

[@BenjaminRavenstone]

Dude you saved my ass 😂 I took mine apart and couldn’t get it back together. Fully confident now thanks for the THOROUGH video!

[@ItalianMafioso344]

best disassembly and reassembly that I have watched out of all the others. Great job.

[@AstroBlender]

ItalianMafioso344 Thank you!

[@joelstolarski2244]

Thanks for showing different ways to do this.Just got a rough non matching one. Wanted a shooter. for now. Definatly a simple gun. Haven't figured out what to doo about some mold on the inside of the stock yet. Didn't want to mess up the finish. It's never been refished which is a plus.

[@markradick9213]

Best Mosin Bolt Assembly and disassembly I’ve seen so far. Very clear, concise, and actually shows the camera (the audience) what to look for. Good job man.

[@itsalexn4219]

Couldn't unscrew my bolt for some reason but twisting the firing pin(as you did) instead of safety did the trick. Thanks!

[@AstroBlender]

+ItsAlexN Cool, I'm glad it worked out for you! Take care!

[@shaunsunderland7927]

Very good take down video of the bolt for the Mosin-Nagant very good video Best video out there!!!

[@AstroBlender]

Thanks!

[@quantusmechanicus5921]

Thanks so much. Used this video to put my bolt back together after seeing what marks are on it. Was super easy to put it together even though it looked hard.

[@texassmelting7550]

Whenever I returned the charging knob to the original position the whole bolt fell apart, ive been here 20 minutes trying to fix it please help

[@spacecadet210]

Small world, sort of, I just finished commenting on the 10 year review of your AVX and saw this. I have a 1938 Czech VZ-24 Mauser, a WW II bring back, so all original numbering, that I bought from a friend for $50 bucks seven or so years ago. Looks like we have at least two common interests.

[@AstroBlender]

That’s cool! I had a ton of firearm video tutorials on KZbin, but most were flagged and removed, so my now my channel is strictly just astronomy based, unfortunately.

[@3buzybeez]

Great video! Clear, concise, and informative!

[@AstroBlender]

Steve West Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful for you!

[@TransistorBased]

So I'm assuming it will reasonably go back together without the firing pin? I'm looking to test the headspace but I only have live cartridges. So if possible I'd like to just remove the firing pin and carefully chamber a round with the gage

[@TrashPanda5150]

I know this vid is really old but for future viewers. I personally wouldn't recommend using the guide rod as a tool to remove/install the firing pin and spring. If you don't have the proper tool made for it, you can get one of those little ignition wrenches, or a small crescent wrench, anything but a part of the bolt. It's a tough chunk of metal but with so many other ways to do it, why risk spreading the end of that guide rod?

[@jpalmi]

Excellent video. I'm going to be looking at a friend's bolt as he said his safety is next to impossible to engage, so this has remained in the safe instead of getting used. gives me an real good idea of the what to look for.

[@thomastheawesome4822]

You sure it's nice just stiff? They tend to be mighty stiff

[@glockbrothers]

Thanks for the reminder. had to look it up how to do it again. I just finished cleaning 3 mosins!

[@tristinjudd2595]

Best video on KZbin for this 👌

[@TheNarrowbandChannel]

The Mosin Nagant bolt is an amazing piece of engineering. Every single component has multiple function and performs multiple things. Ever see the Benchrest Mosin made by Grimstod Desh?

[@OKWqc]

Spaciba mate! I had trouble understanding it.... very precise and comprehensive vid. Molodets!

[@michaelo1492]

Quality lesson, just removed all the Cosmoline from by bolt. Your video makes it so easy from start to finish.

[@AstroBlender]

+michaelo1492 Good! I'm glad that you found it helpful!

[@yeeturmcbeetur8197]

“Use the mosin nagant multi tool that came with your rifle” >tfw mine came from a shed under some wood 😎

[@lancelangdon7569]

Thanks. This helped me change a worn FP spring.

[@AstroBlender]

+Lance Langdon You bet! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@AstatineOfficial]

There are too many people who don’t know how to properly disassemble and maintain their rifles, too many grandpas who only bring it out to shoot a deer and never think about it, too many people who carry daily and rarely inspect or clean their firearms. Anyone who owns a firearm should adopt the militaristic mindset of taking care of your rifle (or handgun, shotgun, etc) and truly learn how it works and how to maintain the beautiful machine it is. I own a mosin and when I got it I found it too risky to try and completely disassemble the bolt so I only took off the bolt face and guide rail, this video was long overdue.

[@moderdoty8606]

I am reassembling the bolt and i cannot fit the guide bar on. I think i over screwed the firing pin and cannot get it unscrewed.

[@umbrellaagent1543]

Dude best disassembly video I have ever seen. I’m always a bit nervous to take apart my guns in fear I won’t get them back together but I tried your video out and I didn’t have any big issues at all I really appreciate it. Can you make other video with other guns plz

[@HGV3XX]

Nicely done. Thanks for the refresher. Nice carbine too.

[@A.Chp-Schweppes]

Hi, interesting video. I've just bought a Mosin too, but it shoots on the right (it's ok in elevation), how to sight in in windage, in which direction should I move the front sight ? thanks

[@huckleberry602]

Good video. Clear, concise info.

[@AstroBlender]

+huckleberry602 Thanks!

[@maverickeinstein4803]

When I pull the cocking knob back the guide bar comes off Any ideas?

[@Goofbird76]

Thank u I'm cleaning my grandpas old mosin he cant see well so I'm doing it for him. That and I took it apart like it's nothing and surprised him.

[@GarretGoodbarrel]

really wish I saw this video when we were removing cosmolline from my buddy's new mosin. We took it apart the 3rd way but now that I have one, I think i'll use the tool. looks alot easier! :D

[@AstroBlender]

+Kyle Clark No worries, as long as you got all that cosmoline out! :)

[@GarretGoodbarrel]

Mine hardly had any in it. Just a few goobers in the bolt body and a light glaze on some of the other metal parts but almost none in the wood. I'm so happy I don't have to get cosmoline out of the wood :D

[@AstroBlender]

+Kyle Clark Lucky you! That is the absolute worst part. In fact, no matter what you do, I feel like I could never get all of it out. Ever. Every time I'd shoot mine, it would still keep coming out.

[@tjhbbp3]

I've never had much luck loading bullets into stripper clips. Perhaps it's because I've tried to do so prior to assembling the entire CARTRIDGE???

[@michaelpratt5920]

Will a sniper bolt use all the same parts?

[@roteroktober360]

so you screw in the firing pin as far as it will go and the align the notches on the cocking piece? thats it right, because i dont have this multitool

[@newenglandpatriot4069]

My guidebar doesnt slide on as easily as it used to. Does it need lube?

[@aaronkaufenberg799]

nice video man that helped a lot. thanks for being quick about it also!

[@kylebrowning8540]

Awesome job. This was a BIG help. Thank you.

[@DirtyBird01]

Just got an authenic PU and cleaned the bolt, how do i see if my pin is right length without tool?

[@bunkysdad]

I agree. Nice video that should help any novice get it right.

[@gujaratigaming8172]

Its the most easiest way of making a bolt its easier then mauser bolt I still cant figure it out how the firing pin is threaded into the bolt and it can stay still when bolt rotates

[@infamous1454]

I have a bad measuring tool the two teeth are the same length, should I be fine shoot if I tighten fully then loosen it up until the two lines on the firing pin are even with the metal?

[@ستارگانوهنرمندانایرانی]

Extremely well explained thanks

[@OtherWorldExplorers]

Thanks for posting!! This was very helpful!

[@kristopherhilton8065]

Everything was dead on with mine except the only way I could get the first piece off was to take the charging knob and move it to the right and pop it off. Other that that this was really helpful for my first time disassembling it.

[@XxMadMax593]

is there anyway to tell if the firing pin is at the right length if i dont have that tool?

[@lpd1snipe]

Thanks for the simple breakdown. I own several rifles. However this is my first Russian rifle. I currently own a Russian Ural motorcycle and a Russian watch I got in Murmansk in 2000 as a Merchant Marine sailor. I guess it is now a Trifecta. :)

[@phantomshotgun]

i never knew i could do that with the guide rod of the nagant bolt. i've been missing my multi tool after i moved and been struggling trying to rassemble my bolt without it

[@Drucifer1999]

I used that other fork part to unscrew the firing pin but it cracked right down the middle. It's a Russian 1943. Might have already been broken. Would that piece being broken effect it's performance?

[@dalewoolard2332]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@bmstylee]

now I know how to take the bolt down. and what that strange tool is for. and is it me or does the bolt assembly look strangely like a submarine?

[@AstroBlender]

Haha! I've never thought of that, but it does. A friend of mine thought the tool was for opening vodka bottles. Guess he was wrong, but a good guess nevertheless!

[@bmstylee]

Slymin​ the galil Hickok shows today has a wire cutter and bottle opener. Game set match galil.

[@AstroBlender]

Well there you have it then!

[@imperialweimarball]

The third disassembly way reminds me of the Lebel M1886 and partially of the Mauser 98 I think it would be useful though unnecessary to have a stock disassembly disk like you see on the Mauser Gewehr 98 and KAR98K.

[@NYG5]

the final method is very much like the Mauser disassembly when using the stock with the disk holes as a disassembly tool. Overall... seems like less of a pain in the ass than disassembling the mauser, there's less fighting against the compression.

[@AdamDguitars]

I don't have a tool to measure my firing pin, what's the dangers of s firing pin that's too long?

[@DRIce8490]

+AdamDguitars You could end up firing the round when you are closing the bolt

[@potc420]

Hammer a hole in the back of the primer is also a possibility

[@ferrykiwik1010]

how much is the chamber set price.. Tenks.

[@speroaceace]

I would not use the guide bar for taking out the firing pine mine snaped off

[@kchickenlord]

Watching this video has reminded me that I have a bolt tool sitting around somewhere that I'd forgotten about.

[@gregms7661]

Could you explain what to do if the firing pin is too short according to the tool?

[@AstroBlender]

Personally, the only thing I would do is replace the firing pin.

[@outdoorslayer9060]

helped me out tremendously! thanks man

[@AstroBlender]

+Outdoorslayer 90 You're welcome! Glad it helped!

[@lude3645]

Awesome vudeo .. what parts to lube ..Tx

[@rileyfarrell180]

Is the bolt supposed to jingle

[@stevew8191]

Nice simple explanation. Thanks.

[@AstroBlender]

No problem!

[@tonywoconish6695]

🗣where can I buy this alignment tool ? How much ? Also, is there another way to measure the head spacing of the firing pin without the tool ?

[@josephfile915]

I'm having a problem with my Mosin. Every time I slide the bolt back it cocks the trigger, like it should, but when i push it forward it fires. I haven't spent any rounds through it because i noticed it was doing this, thankfully. What is the reason you might think that the trigger is engaging when the bolt is brought forward?

[@AstroBlender]

+joe file When you finish reassembling the bolt, are you making sure that the nub on the charging knob falls back into place on the guider bar? That is the only reason why I could see that happening.

[@dentonsbackyardshow1013]

Great video and great rifle .i love these rifles thanks for a great video

[@jerryday4193]

Thank you very good instructions...just bought a nagant...have it tore down to clean

[@AstroBlender]

Nice! Simple huh?!

[@jerryday4193]

Only thing now im am not sure of is best way to clean stock..seeing leave it in sun and let heat out

[@AstroBlender]

That can be tricky. You can use harsh chemicals, but hurt the finish, but leaving it out in the sun will really dry it out. I used a heat gun and heated a spot, wiped it. Heated it again wiped it. I continually did this until the area was clean. Then I did that over the entire gun. It took forever.

[@jeffreynagel1796]

Fantastic video, straight forward information.

[@alexdalke9764]

What should I do if I don't have a tool to measure the firing pin?

[@AstroBlender]

Either try and find one or see a gunsmith.

[@RobertSmith-le8wp]

Thanks !!! Helped a ton

[@AstroBlender]

+Robert Smith Good I'm glad!

[@djfelix2429]

What if the firing pin is longer than the 2nd groove of your multitool?

[@fallvegas]

+DJ Felix Appearntly if it's longer it can puncture the bullet causing blowback.

[@djfelix2429]

+fallvegas I was implying that my firing pin is longer than the 2nd groove, is there anything I can do about that without taking it to a smith?

[@fallvegas]

DJ Felix Personally I would fiddle with it for quite sometime trying to get it right, I mean unless something is wrong with the bolt you should be able to get on your own. If you have the little tool that might have came with it or a flathead screw driver you can turn the bit at the center of the bolt. Just match it up with the lines, and make sure it's flush, pretty much like he said.

[@AstroBlender]

+DJ Felix You have received good advice from fallvegas. Hopefully that works out for you!

[@djfelix2429]

The problem is that I have it flush, and it's still about a quarter of a centimeter longer than the 2nd groove. I also have a problem where the bolt doesn't pull smoothly, but mine was manufactured during World War 2, and those models apparently have that problem, where it clicks as you pull it up and clicks again as you push it down. It will also lock up if a bullet is in the chamber and the bolt won't open.

[@Varmint153]

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

[@Southpawarsenal]

Very informative video, thanks a ton.

[@AstroBlender]

You bet!

[@constitution_8939]

I have a simple question though I'm not sure you'll even see this comment after 7 years and 2 month's after recording this video but here goes: First I'll explain my problem, my bolt is Incredibly Hard to work Especially turning it to the Safe Mode and More Especially with returning the bolt back to the firing position which is itself Not unusual because Everybody whose made a video about this rifle has said the same thing regarding that function. Anyway, I have not only cleaned every piece of it and the whole rifle but did some careful filing on parts of the bolt that still had machining marks and rough or sharp edges that had Nothing to do with it's functioning and have 5 years of Machine Shop experience with milling machines, lathes etc, so I know what I'm doing in that regard. I have determined that it is the spring that causes the Very Hard tension in the all-around operation of the bolt and thought that clipping a loop or two Off the spring would make it a little easier in it's operation which makes sense to me, but I Don't want to ruin it if I'm Wrong because I Don't have one to replace it. The spring seems Overly and unnecessarily strong and wonder if You have encountered this or know of anyone who has and might have fixed the issue by doing as I'm suggesting by shortening the spring just a loop or two? I'd really appreciate it if you see this and Especially if it Is something you've experienced and maybe tried or know of someone who did. So, Happy Holidays to you either way.

[@samimakela7973]

Hello. Thanks for your video. Had some trouble with assembling the bolt for the first time, eysterday:)

[@cherokee5425]

Great Video! Thank you!!

[@AstroBlender]

You're welcome!

[@nathan600r]

Thanks for the great how to video!

[@blueberryseeto5244]

I truly do love my m91/30 , but I've experienced rim lock too many times. And while I prefer the sights on the Mosin, the rimmed cartridge really turns me away from it

[@VCBird6]

Very nice video! Saved my ass when I accidentally pulled back the charging knob and the bolt came all apart on me ^^;;

[@AstroBlender]

I am glad it helped!

[@wyattwesterfield4553]

What if the firing pin is not long enough?

[@guachingman]

you screwed up the knob, literally

[@je25ff]

'It's under tension so be careful'...AFTER it flies out lol.

[@doctorno0070]

Best of the field stripping vids. Thanks!

[@RazorzBurn]

Very well done!
