A russian cap 1939 "27" from Erfurter Maschinenfabrik (ERMA) with some decent blueing, still pretty good overall but the stock is rough.
Question 1: How good a shot are these with just irons? According to an older collecter my Garand has a better reach then the k98 with it windage sights however I have my doubts a semi gas-op has an edge on a boltie of equal quality.
Question 2: Appears this stock is a laminated beechwood with little to no cosmoline. I want to steam out the nicks and sand it out for a refinish as I did my Garand. Whats oil or sealer should I use for a look closest to the original? Tung oil? Lacquer?
