I recently bought a 1936 mosin nagant that looks brand new and the first shot i took out of it the bolt had to be hammered on to open and to pull it back and I do not think that this is a cosmoline problem because i inspected the casings and noticed a place where the metal was scraped off on the back(almost like the chamber is too narrow for the bullet
does anyone know what i can do to fix this problem?

file it down maybe?
