Who can take a rifle
Bolt on Walmart sights ...
I can do that. I am highly impressed with their center point scopes. They can hold zero like a champ!

You do very nice woodwork!
You mean like these?
Made from scratch using barreled actions.

Hmmmm. That looks like a challenge.
I love the blue Mosin. I know the guy who did it for his daughter (who enjoys shooting, has an AR15 of her own). You have to see it to appreciate it's pulchritude. The bands and nosecap are painted with silver glitter.

Shaddydan,
I remember. That one is the third and final version with the receiver mounted scope. You weren't the only one to play with that rifle. I let a kid borrow it one day and I thought I'd never get it back. He was grinning from ear to ear. Glad you enjoyed it. It's olive green now.
Who can take a rifle ...
Pull off all the wood ...
Put it into plastic,
Make it like it's from the hood?
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can,
'Cuz he changes all the parts,
And screws it up real good!
Who can chop a barrel ...
Bolt on Walmart sights ...
Pretend that it's tactical,
And great for firefights?
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can,
'Cuz he doesn't give a damn,
'Bout what that gun's withstood.
The Bubba man fakes,
Mags and muzzle brakes,
Tripods, stocks, and then he wishes,
He could shoot guys just like fishes,
Tryin' to hide the fact--he swishes!
Who can take Pop's old gun ...
Make it look real kewl ...
Thinks that he's a genius,
But he's really just a fool?
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can!
The Bubba man can,
'Cuz he'd rather do that than,
Just keep it all old-school!
Refinished Type 53. How did I not realize how non-heterosexual that wallpaper looks in the pic? Don't judge me, I rent.
Now that I know more, I somewhat regret refinishing it. But, I like how it looks. The wood had some cool grain to it once I got all the crap off.
Process: (stock)
CitriStripped the stock in a wallpaper tray
Note:This took a LOT of the dings out of the stock, I was surprised.
Light sanding with fine sandpaper
Minwax Pre-Stain treatment
Stained with Minwax gunstock stain
Many, many coats of BLO with steel wool in between coats to take down the shine
There was some really heavy rust in some areas so I removed the rust and either left in the white (sling escutcheons) or Oxpho-Blued (barrel bands, part of magazine)
Let me know next time you take it to Elk Neck. I'd like to see that.
