Well Im very happy with my purchase Sat. Picked up the 1944 Mosin Nagant 91/30 had already been counterbored. Gave it a slight cleaning them fired 20 rounds of bulgarian surplus ammo through it, and it fired like a champ no problems. Gotta get some quality time at the range with it though to see exactly how accurate it is. Gonna be refinishing the stock this week probably.

Sweet, I redid a SKS in an oxblood red color that I found at Wal-Mart a while back, now they don't carry it anymore and I can't find it anywhere, and it looked so good. The last SKS that I did, I used Minwax golden pecan and it came out pretty good. Great stuff for the price too. If I would have kept it, I probably would have went ahead and put some clear urethane on top of it, because it wasn't quite as glossy as I had hoped.

Nice choice! I have a couple myself (M44 and a 91/30 sniper), they're great fun. My dad has been collecting them for a while too, he's got a couple (I think this is about half of his):
