Customizing a Mosin Nagant. What should I do to it?
T4R. I've already shimmed the stock and floated the barrel. I've ordered a scope mount, a scope, a bi-pod, and a trigger kit. I've been thinking about drilling and tapping the rifle so I can put an actual Mosin PU scope on it, but I don't think I will because of the much more involved procedure involved and the high risk associated with modifying the rifle to such an extend. I want to keep the wooden stock because of it's durability. I've been thinking about refinishing it completely with linseed oil, but have been held up on removing the 74 year old finish. Other than that, I don't know what else to do with it. Any recommendations, flood?

Don't sand it too much and use citristrip to remove the old finish. It's not harmful like the other strippers out there plus it smells like oranges! If you want a dark reddish color like [url=http://www.tri-eagle-firearms.com/Mosin_Nagant_M38_2nd.JPG] this[/url] then I would say to pick up a can of MinWax Sedona Red 222 and MinWax polyurethane as a way to protect the stain and give it a glossy feel and look I do wish I didn't refinish my stock. Yeah it looks pretty good but it doesn't have that rugged look like how it should. Probably going to get a monte carlo stock for it or just purchase an original stock off of ebay
