Imposable for the rifle to fire without first cocking and pulling the trigger in this manor. I would consider it safe.

That's exactly how I carried mine in my trunk (they make a great trunk gun). Just get one of those shell holders that goes over the stock from academy or oshmans. They hold an extra 9 rounds. Keep 4 in the mag below the bolt, and your set. If you're gonna keep it as a trunk gun, coat the whole thing inside and out with CLP and your good to go.

Thanks for all the replies.
MauserMark, Did you keep the striker cocked or do you then dry fire, or otherwise release the striker? This brings me to another question although off topic. Is it ok to dry fire Mosins? |

yes it's okay to dry fire them, I've never really heard of a WWII bolt action that could be damaged from dryfiring, although I'm sure every gun can eventually be damaged from dry firing even say... glocks...?
Yes I keep it cocked, mainly because I didn't feel I needed to dry fire it, there's not a round in the chamber so it doesn't matter. And actually the bolt requires more force to open after the pin has been released, so keeping it already cocked makes it a little (although probably no real difference) easier to load fast when called upon. -mark |

To apply the safety on a mosin: Pull back the bolt and turn counter-clockwise. Let it down. It will rest on the receiver. |

I found that it's easiest if you put the butt of the stock in the crook of your elbow (against your bicep) and use your thumb and index finger to pull and turn the bolt. It is not a good design and does not work very well. |

Putting my Moisin on safe is easy. Putting it back into the fire position is hard to do without pinching the tip of my index finger.
