My mosin stock refinish

[etownguy]

I picked this up from toddinlou the wood was in bad shape so I decided to try and refinish it instead of just buy an ATI stock for it. I did not think to get before hand pictures but I will give you pictures of where it is at right now.

The end of the hand guard was damaged so I filed the other side down to match easy fix.

It was stripped down using various strippers and alcohol in mineral spirits. And I am Refinishing it using Birchwood and Casey true oil. This is on its fourth coat.

Not the prettiest wood to start with but I feel it will look better than the nastiness it was before

Nice. I have a stock for a 91/30 that I have been wanting to strip and refinish. Seeing this thread makes me want to get started on it.

How long did ti take to strip??

A couple hours of labor and 6-7 hours of waiting. Stripper called for 30 minutes to 24 hours

While i was at it I did the quick trigger job.

Spaced up the..... Hammer?... With a washer.

And fashioned a trigger spring to remove the trigger flop.

This is the end result I am satisfied enough for a sub $100 rifle!
