I;ve owned no less than 25 Mosin-Nagants. 38's, 44's, 38 carbines, 91/30's and have never fussed w/headspace. I'v fed them all Czech or Russian 7.62x54 and never had a problem. I go through them and check for any obvious cracks or whatnot w/the stock and visualy inspect and diecheck the breech. In over 50,000 rounds I've never had a problem.

I own one Nagant mod. 1898 made in 1913. It should already be headspaced unless it's been barreled, which is unlikely. Check the breech for damage and pull bolet and shine a light down barrel and look for defects. Inspect it well.

just clean out all the cosmolene with simple green and you should be good to go. it's not like you are launching a space shuttle, a little looseness here and there isn't going to hurt.

Clean all the cosmoline and junk out of the barrel and action.

First thing you should do is clean it really well. It should be O K to shoot. Let me warn you , that thing sounds like a cannon when it fires.
