You can shoot it as is and find out but a tight hold to the recoil lug is important I have found
Sounds like you need to tighten up the spanner nut

Nope not for the $99 deal.

They did, but few weeks ago they sent Ih8demlibz an all matching never fired practially brand new gun so he called them and thanked them. A day or 2 after that when I went to order, the hand pick was gone. Wondering if they wised up and pulled all the pristine ones for later sale at a higher price.
of the 3 I received with no hand pick option, Im happy with all 3. #1 and 2 had very good stocks, good bluing great rifling but mismatched bolts. #3 had less bluing with a little rust, good rifling, a lesser but still good stock
For $99 you still cant go wrong IMO, if you want a shooter

So I can tighten it down and maybe eliminate most of the wiggle?
No pics?
I hope they did pull the good ones. I'll be more than happy to pay M44 prices for a pristine T53.

I shot my T53 yesterday. So, when the spent shell won't extract and the bolt won't open, that's the old Mo-seen "sticky bolt" problem, right? I've seen an explanation of how to scrub the chamber somewhere. Anybody got experience with this problem?

Use a .22 bronze brush wrapped in a green scrubby pad and soak it with mineral spirits.
Put in on cleaning rod and power scrub using a drill. Keep it wet.
Scrub the chamber and throat area until it is high gloss shiny.
Should solve the problem.
Make sure the bolt face is polished too and keep all the bolt/receiver/lug contact points greased up.

I want one but I'm a little weary.

I wish I had known that.
We'll see if it actually works like that, one on the way...

good luck. If you can get one with good metal and excellent bore like mine but with a good stock you would be in good shape.

I used the "Iraqveteran888" method found on Youtube; just type in "Mosin sticky bolt" to find it. It is similar to Alpha's method
I highly recommend this method; i had a burr in the chamber of my 91/30, and it took care of it.
