My New Love
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.
Very nice. Everybody needs a Mosin, or 2, or 3...
Indeed Im gonna start looking for another one too lol. Also gonna start stripping the finish off the stock when I get home tonight...Ill make a Rifle build thread lol.
Lol cool. You going to go with any crazy stain color? or keep it original?Originally Posted by mushroom_toy
Im gonna try Minwaxs Red Mahogany first, and if I dont like it I guess Ill end up stripping and staining again lol.
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.
Yeah Im gonna be putting on quite a few coats of the urethane. Boput to start a build thread for it lol.
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):
Lol at the arsenal...im envious.
