I picked up a dirty old New England Westinghouse M91 at a gun show on November 17th 2007 .
It was only my 2nd or 3rd Mosin at the time and I really didn't know much about them. This old rifle really got me to start doing some resarch on Mosins and now I have many Mosins, 10 of which are M91's.
When I bough the dirty old Westinghouse, I didn't know how hard and long the search for a replacement stock would be.
I did get a Bulgarian marked stock from a friend about a year later. It was a pertty good stock but I was just not happy with the look of the rifle. Then back in Octber of 2009, on the way home from one of the SRF shoots in Ohio, My friend and I stopped in at a little shop in Alabama. We stopped at the little shop to look at some old Mosins we were told they had. Well while looking through the rifles, I found a M91 that had spent some time in Bulgaria. It had a Walnut stock I needed for my dirty old Westinghouse. I also found another rifle that I liked.
I am happy with the look of the rifle now.
It took me 2 years and 3 months to restore the Westinghouse, but it was worth it.
