The second round has cleared the magazine cutoff. It was actually one of the cool features of the 91 series that keeps it from double feeding with the rims.
Try pushing the round in the magazine than chamber it. That should fix it.

I have noticed these feeding issues are the worst with 1942 and 1943 dated Izhevsh rifles and short blanks. If the magazine interruptor don't screw the blank up, the loose tolerances in the feedway cause the short blanks to run afoul on the way into the chamber. There is no fix I know of for short blanks in those 2 years. All the pre 1938 rifles I have run them just fine and they get a little hit and miss after that year. That's my experience anyway.

The easiest way to deal with this is to load your stripper clips by hand, so that the bottom round's rim is the farthest back, and each successive rim is forward of the one below it.
Short crimp rounds have never worked as well as long crimp, but sometimes you just have to work with what you have.

Hey, we're tying to get a weapon to function with ammo it was never intended to function well with. (Sorry, I know that is grammatically incorrect.) I'm not sure about different years and different manufacturers performing differently, but I have seen weak/strong springs in the magazine making a difference at times, etc.
Bottom line: these things weren't designed to shoot blanks.
FWIW, YMMV,
Yuri

Yuri The only reference to the use of blanks in the 91 series Mosin Nagant rifle I have ever seen, was in a document for factory defense units. It talks about the inconvenience of, but necessity to hand feed each blank round to optimize performance of the weapon. Point being, even the Soviets had this problem. Their solution was to inconvenience the operator, not muck about with the rifle. Just remember, that rifle is State Property, you are not. Therefore, that rifle has value (to the State), you do not!

What horsesoldier said. Is correct. Also your magazine interrupter spring might be "loose".

Well, this is a problem that never goes away, and all NUGs run into it, so it never hurts to bring it back up from time to time.

Very true comrade Sgt. We might as well make it a sticky at the top to which we can add things from time to time. Dima? Any chance of thumb-tacking this thread at the top???
