mosin restoration

[Hayata]

Looks good DP!

After shooting 5 rounds I noticed the brass looked pitted upon ejection, maybe I never noticed it so it could be normal. Any advice or idea would be useful

It shot straight and didn’t blow up so that’s a good thing. The rear band spring needs replaced as it snapped off

Makes me think you may have a pitted chamber. The pattern looks pretty consistent on all 5 cases. You need to stick a borescope in there.

Rust in the chamber.

i'll oil up the rifle more then I did previously post cleaning, rust/pitting is a strong possibility with how it came

still looks better then some rifles that were in action during ww2
