Looking gooood. Still think that you should use polyurethane, but more for water resistance than looks.

I used the MinWax Red Mahogany and went over it today a few times with 0000 steel wool to smooth it out, tommorow after I get home I'll Shellac it and should have pics for you guys soon after.

Geo, I usually dont get it out in humid conditions anyway, besides shellac worked for them all these years.

Shuak · 04-21-2008, 05:54 PM

Looking forward to finished pics.

SwedeSteve · 04-21-2008, 06:06 PM

Yep, I think she'll be a beauty!!

Mosin Shooter · 04-22-2008, 03:16 PM

By the way guys the finished pics will have the scope mount rubber banded on, so it should look like a nice sniper rifle.

Mosin Shooter · 04-23-2008, 04:43 PM

Heres the pics boys,

dont say nothin about the first pic, i couldnt find my burlap out in the garage and it was the next best thing.

The 9th and 10th pics are the reticle, 9 is kinda bad, buts its there.

The sixth pic is me behind my Mosin(

....kidding

), sorry if it sucks, i was trying to get the scope on level when my bro took it.

Heres what it cost to get the rifle looking like this:
1x Mosin Nagant M1891/30 $89.95
1x Bent Bolt $49.95
1x PE Scope Mount $129.99
1x Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC reticle $124.95 (eBay)
1 Pint: Bulls Eye Clear Shellac $5.97
1 Pint: Minwax Mahogany Red Stain $4.97
1 pkg steel wool (16 pads) $9.97
1 pkg 440 grit sand paper $6.97
Total: $422.72

But believe me, its worth it

Nice! I'll have to get me one of those really soon.

Shuak · 04-23-2008, 05:23 PM

Very nice.

just_a_car · 04-24-2008, 03:29 AM

Looks good. Man, that scope is really clear.

Oh, and you forgot to add in the price of that bent-bolt.... unless it came with the 91/30 you bought, then I'm just jealous.

R5CYA · 04-24-2008, 12:45 PM

that's nice! what's the gap on the front scope mount?

i did forget that, it was 49.95.

not the best bent bolt, im hoping to trade up to a better one.

I'm thinking the rubber bands have solved the mount stabilizing problems.

Nice job MS. Very cool.

I still have to get the reciever drilled and tapped for the PE mount but the rubber band is a good temporary fix for photos.

Hey guys, if you'd ask me, I'd go for the Dawn Power Dissolver. I love it's cleaning power.
