| She's a beaut', SS! I really need to transfer my pics of my two 91/59's onto my computer to post 'em up.

| SS: Maybe you should send it to me for safe keeping? I'll make sure Mooseman doesn't try to talk you out of it! I promise I'll keep her warm, talk to her, and feed her good surplus ammo!

| Resident Armed Liberal  | If you need to touch that finish up sometime, Steve, I'm almost 100% sure it's plain old orange shellac. At least I'll swear that's what mine has, and yours looks to be about the same color.

| Bullet Maintenance !!  | It's funny you should bring that up troy! I was just now looking at her compared beside my M38. I was trying to figure out why she was so light in color!

There's a web page kicking around on the internet where a guy talks about stripping and refinishing his 91/59, and he goes into heartbreaking detail about all the things he did trying to reproduce that lovely butternut color. Had he only known... All he had to do was buy a can of orange shellac, and a little denatured alcohol to cut it with. Since orange shellac darkens with age, he might have needed to put a drop or two of coloring in the new stuff to get an exact match.
