+1 on the hex receiver its the smoothest one of mine.I've had 3 of them. Two of the hex recievers and one round. I bought one at Cabelas when they had them for 99.00. The two hexes I bought from J&G Sales. If possible get one made in the pre WW II period as the machining is better. I highly recommend a hex reciever model as they stopped making them in 1936. Fun to shoot too!
Generally? No.Is the Action Smoothe?
How good are they? That depends on your definition of good. Few have the nice fit and finish and bluing jobs we have come to expect in guns these days. Most have see hard use and neglect in their long historical life.How good are Mosin Nagants? are they accurate and reliable? they're cheap as hell and i wanted to know how good they are.

Wrong.He's credited as being the all-time sniper champ with over 400 kills.
I believe It was also a Mosin Nagant just in sniper form instead of standard issue.Vasily Zaytsev used one for his first 34 kills. After that he was awarded a snipers rifle but I haven't been able to figure out what it was.
Are you sure it was NEW? Just because it was in a sealed crate covered in cosmoline does not mean it is new by any means. That is how they packed them up after they where done using the rifiles to preserve them.The rifles were still packed in the cosmoline and oil paper from when the were manufactured in 1953 and sealed in the box.
