You are correct, I worded that very clumsily. Most rifles do cock on open as you said. What I meant to say is that the Mosin action when opening to cock is very stiff compared to most modern rifles. Not all Mausers cock on open. The earlier models cocked on closing. Also saying that a rifle has a Mauser type bolt is a little misleading. Yes they both use locking lugs but the Mauser uses "controlled round feed" where the Mosin uses a "push feed" system. There are several other differences but I won't harp on that right now. Here's a little vid I found on the cock on open vs cock on close, both being Mauser actions. http://youtu.be/Re6TVCBWins
| The Mosin is a very clumsy action. Durable and reliable for sure, but not the best design, and most agree it was created solely to avoid patent violation and licensing of an existing design. The Mauser action refers to the model 98 action. While not all Mausers from 100 years ago cock on open the Spanish 1893 Mauser action was just an evolutionary step towards the model 98 action, which most consider to be the pinnacle of bolt action design. The model 98 action quickly became well regarded and was adopted by the US for the 1903, the UK in the P14, and Japan for the Type 35, as well as more and more countries as other actions, such as the Mannlicher, Lebel, and other obscure designs were replaced. The model 98 action became known as the Mauser action for this reason of notoriety. Like when somebody talked about their Jacuzzi you know they are talking about a hot tub, even though Jacuzzi makes and made other things.
