Like the title says and my 1925 Mosin Nagant after you pull the trigger it has a lot of play forward and back. If you cock the bolt and set the trigger obviously there's no way the trigger is taunt but after you pull the trigger it's very loose moves almost an inch forward and back.
When the rifle is cocked I've Let It Drop to two to three feet and it will not move this sear, so I know it's got a good contact, I had this posted on the Mosin Nagant data section and I cancel the post, but one guy said to check the spring tension and see if it's screwed on tight and it is. So any help on this would be much appreciative.

Interesting - if I'm understanding this correctly, I believe I have the same issue.

There is wobble left and right -- but when the rifle is cocked, all that play is gone (since I'm assuming the sear is wedged up against the bolt, it can't move).

The weird part is, this use to not be a problem. When I first got the rifle, that problem did not exist. Then one time after pulling the B/R out of the stock for cleaning, I let the B/R sit out for a while (a couple weeks, while I was trying to pull cosmo out of the stock). Not sure what happened, but the trigger pin fell (the B/R was essentially resting on the trigger, not sure if that has something to do with that) out and ever since then, it's been wobbly. The trigger pin is also not fully flat either, it has a slight "V" to it -- I have to rotate the pin in place, canI't just slide it in.

Well if you mean left and right side ways no that's not my problem my problem is its front-to-back front of the barrel to the rear the butt stock movement that away. But again once you cock the bolt the trigger is engaged it's tight as a virgin until you put it back in it and it breaks

You Tube is your friend. There is a video on how to correct this problem. I tried it and it actually works. It involves bending the bolt stop/trigger spring.

Yes that What it looks like in the video. it's real loose back and forth so if you watch the video that's what it looks like. And I don't want to have to try to bend the sear that I think it would break.
And yes the trigger pin is in place and it does pivot or Arc along
Trigger Arch. So if I can't bend the sear pin which I won't how can I fix this

It doesn't bother me. I just wanted to know if I try to sell the rifle I don't want somebody to tell me that I was broke because it moves like that. And more than likely I'll never sell the rifle but you know what I'm saying because it has a great trigger on it
