So guys, I bought a 91/30 recently, and the trigger is pretty wiggly. It still has a clean break at the end that requires a decent amount of pull to set off, so I'm not worried about it going off by accident, but that wiggle before the end just bugs the crap out of me. I've looked around a bit and see that it might be the sear spring that needs replacing. Anybody know a good place for spare Mosin parts?

I just bought my first Mosin Nagant and it is the M44 version. I got it for $180 and though I love it to death, it has caused me some minor headaches. Going to make a long story short here: Took it to the range the and shot 1 round through it. I pulled up the bolt to eject the round and it got stuck. Range Master gave it the "Soviet slap" and it released. He then fires another round but then the bolt wouldn't go forward. Go home and my Green Beret neighbor gets the bolt to function again but it keeps stick. Also, the gun has a nasty hair trigger and sometimes goes off if you smack the bolt. He recommended cleaning the hell out of it so I tried traditional gun oil with little change to the smoothness of the action. Today, I have sense scrubbed the chamber with acetone and a toothbrush while letting the bolt sit in acetone for hours. I've gotten VERY little cosmoline out of either which tells me the previous owner already did this. I then found someone used a 20 gauge brush attached to a drill to clean the chamber so I did that as well. The bolt is still sticky but not as bad as it was. Though the trigger is still very loose! If you smack it on the side, butt or even just TOUCH the bolt, it sets off the firing pin. Suggestions? Recommendations for a gunsmith?
