While i was at the range I tried to load 5 rounds into the mag of my Nagant. I was able to get 5 rounds in, but then I couldn't close the bolt. it wouldn't push it into the chamber. it kept forcing the nose of the round down into the magazine. i ended up having to pop the magazine floorplate open and drop all the rounds out, then only load up 4. and carefully and gently load the 5th round for it to chamber. no wonder i was able to buy it cause the russian who was issued it definatly didnt make it. i spent more time trying to load it then i actually shot it. this is my second nagant and this one is being stubborn.....if your curious its a 1942 izzy
so any suggestions on fixing this. i cleaned it before i shot it. bought it from dunhams and didnt really have that much cosmo in it. i know the litle spring thing on the left side is responsible for the rounds feeding but dont know what to do. but try and clean it again.
