Editing Mosin–Nagant (section)

===Technical detail===
Like the ''[[Gewehr 98]]'', the 1891 Mosin uses two front-locking lugs to lock up the action. However, the Mosin's lugs lock in the horizontal position, whereas the [[Mauser]] locks vertically. The Mosin bolt body is multi-piece whereas the Mauser is one piece. The Mosin uses interchangeable bolt heads like the [[Lee–Enfield]]. Unlike the Mauser, which uses a [[controlled feed]] bolt head in which the cartridge base snaps up under the fixed extractor as the cartridge is fed from the magazine, the Mosin has a [[push feed]] recessed bolt head in which the spring-loaded extractor snaps over the cartridge base as the bolt is finally closed similar to the ''[[Gewehr 1888]]'' and M91 [[Carcano]] or modern sporting rifles like the [[Remington 700]]. Like the Mauser, the Mosin uses a blade ejector mounted in the receiver. The Mosin bolt is removed by simply pulling it fully to the rear of the receiver and squeezing the trigger, while the Mauser has a bolt stop lever separate from the trigger.

Like the Mauser, the bolt lift arc on the Mosin–Nagant is 90 degrees, versus 60 degrees on the Lee–Enfield. The Mauser bolt handle is at the rear of the bolt body and locks behind the solid rear receiver ring. The Mosin bolt handle is similar to the [[Mannlicher–Schönauer|Mannlicher]]: it is attached to a protrusion on the middle of the bolt body, which serves as a bolt guide, and it locks protruding out of the ejection/loading port in front of a split rear receiver ring, also serving a similar function to Mauser's "third" or "safety" lug.

The rifling of the Mosin barrel is right turning (clockwise looking down the rifle) 4-groove with a twist of 1:9.5" or 1:10". The 5-round fixed metallic [[Magazine (firearms)|magazine]] can either be loaded by inserting the cartridges individually, or more often in military service, by the use of 5-round [[stripper clip]]s.{{sfn|Harriman|2016|p=68}}
