Thanks buddy. I try.You've done good in my book, Mustard!
My next is going to be either a walnut K31 (non-modified), or a Finn Mosin.

I'm here for help if you need me!I think I may go and re-do my K lol
I was told that, if you doubt anything when it comes to redoing a stock, DON'T DO IT!I'm debating on it, lol
Is yours beech as well? I found that staining after a certain process worked well:I know, I won't do anything if I'm doubting it, but I'm debating on doing it or not. The color is okay, and I could always stain it back, or I can strip it, open up some pores to let the stain get darker, etc.
Turned out not that Russian.Oooh, I'm sorry. I was afriad that would happen. Well, best of luck with it. There are some wood bleaching chemicals that might help, but it's a long row to hoe.
I looked at them from page 1. You're on a fence with yours: it's in better shape than mine was, and it's walnut so it will be easier to work with. I'm swearing up and down if I get a walnut K31, it's staying stock. My beech was irritatingly worn, with beautiful bluing and shiny steel. I couldn't let the stock detract the fine Swiss engineering and craftsmanship.No but I can get some more lol
Thank you sir. Appreciated.great job on that finish
I wouldn't touch it, to be purely honest. Compared to mine before the refinish (you'll have to trust me) yours is quite sterling. It would be an easy job, as yours isn't hardly beat up, dents are more prevalent than gouges, and the K31 is sanding friendly. Your bluing looks nice, and I can't see myself touching it. In the event you do, yours will take less work.
I'll have to take your word, bro. I went into my job blind! I am in no way shape or form unhappy with my finished product. If you decide to do yours, keep me posted. I want to see your progress.Yeah she's definitely got some character, but I'm thinking I might like the look of it stripped and then putting Tung Oil as a finish.
Being A voice of reason, step back from the ledge. My beech was so beat up, I couldn't help it. You've no excuse other being an adult with personal preferences.I may or may not, lol. Sometimes it helps having someone talk me out of it lol
Ha! Definately shinier. I wouldn't kick her outta bed!
