Fix my gun Difficult extraction on a Mosin Nagant. Solutions ?

Reluctantly bought a generic *run of mill* 91/30 for an embarrassing price. It has a frosty bore, but otherwise seemed to be in good - great condition with pronounced rifling.

I thoroughly cleaned the gun including the barrel and chamber.

The bolt cycles buttery smooth, chambers and extracts unfired rounds fluidly. But when fired, I gotta halfass slap the bolt up and partially back before the spent casing will properly extract.

To improve extraction, does this sound like something a good chamber polishing would solve ? Or is there some other quirky Mosin remedy I'm unaware of ?

I wonder if you manage to find some of them 7.62x54R by Barnual and see if that has any significant difference.

It would be nice if you can nab a deer with a Mosin this year to cont the tradition.

RIP T81 SR, lol
