I would like an m39 if I can find one.

your onto the problem just fixed my 1940 tula same prblem just tweeked the interuper a bit now works fine

[cremley]

hey, mine is a 1940 tula as well! how did you tweak the interrupter if you don't mind my asking?

[Smokin' Nagant]

damn so it was a production error that caused the malfunction in this particular year and arsenal. we should put a sticky up that says if u have 1940 tula 91/30 and problems, do this...

[cremley]

hey thats right! I wonder if any one else has had this problem on here and if it really was a production error. that would kind of be cool if it was.

[SwedeSteve]

Well, considering a lot of these are put together with a bucket of parts, maybe not. That's just it, you don't know what you have. All original? Rearsenal? Bucket of parts? Say it was a production error back in 1940, do you think they would have gone through WWII without being repaired? I think not.
cremely- When marion says "tweak", he means adjusting the relationship of the I/E to the top round in the mag. Usually just a slight bending does it.

[cremley]

thanks for the definition of tweak.

I am pretty sure mine is just a bucket of parts with a Tula receiver and stock. the rest are from the Izhevsk factory and none of the numbers even match each other. at least it is pretty accurate though. I guess I can say I have some pieces of different parts of history all wrapped in one. lol!

[SwedeSteve]

cremely- Did you try swapping out the interrupter yet. Just the one piece that gets screwed in? If that fixed it, I have a spare you can have.

Most MN's (even and especially the Finns) are a bucket o' parts, matching, stamped, serial numbers just mean that it was all assembled at the same time.

My 1947 force-matched, electropenciled, M44 can shoot with the best of them.

[cremley]

I tried swapping the parts out and it didn't seem to help. after messing around with it and completely reasembling it, it seems that it does not rub as much and not enough to really bother the casing. I think I will just shoot it as is and try and find another one. if worse comes to worse, I can always load it one by one.

Thanks for all of the help guys, Unless someone figures out exactly what to do, I think I am stuck.

I guess mine is just a bucket of parts from both factories then.

[SwedeSteve]

Did the I/E out of the M91/30 work in your M44 ??
Are you throwing in the towell ??

[Mike82]

I WANT IT....cremley, sell me your 91/30....i need another project....steve doesnt

[cremley]

O, I am being retarded. I didn't try it in my m44. by the way, what is the towell?

I would sell it but it is kinda my broken baby that I put too much work into trying to refinish.

A prizefighter's cornermen would signal he was beaten and unable to continue by throwing a white towel into the ring. Like raising the white flag.

OOO! well in that case, Never give up! never surrender! till the death arrrrggghhhhh! lol!

I guess I will have to redeem myself and go mess with it some more until it works!

[SwedeSteve]

Well, we haven't looked at the magazine and receiver yet !!

[cremley]

true. I hope this problem is fixable and not some machine error in the receiver that I can't do anything about.

[SwedeSteve]

I am having a hard time understanding why the interrupter would not be able to hold the round down. I could not recreate the problem without almost destroying an interrupter. I am playing with a magazine now to see what it might cause. So far, I am playing with the Interruper lug's position and the cut out for it on the left side of the magazine.

cremley- Toolman said it. It is your interruptor. Have you detail stripped your Mosin when you cleaned it? Doesn't sound like it. Or did you just remove the barreled action from the stock?

+1
interupter problems are easy solved by tweaking it or replacment and they are fairly cheap
