[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 1604208, member: 103996"] The first mosin nagant I bought. First time firing it didn’t have the recoil I was expecting. I wasn’t expecting a hard kick, but it barely kicked at all. Went to inspect the casing and it blew a hole right through the primer. I thought it was odd because it was store bought ammo, I don’t remember the Mfg. Fired one more to be sure and it blew a hole in that primer as well. So I took it apart and noticed the firing pin was sticking out way too far after it had been fired. I mean it’s an easy fix, and I fixed it myself, but that rifle was beaten up so bad it had definitely been used a fair amount, I just wonder how long the firing pin had been like that, blowing primers isn’t exactly safe, and it’s not good for the rifle either. I still have it sittinf in my safe but I never really shoot it anymore. [/QUOTE]
