pyzik 597 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well, Cabela's Mosins went on sale and I had a $25 gift card I've been wanting to burn up.So I got a Mosin for $62! (After club points, coupon and gift card)Here is what it did look like. Here is is after two coats of Red Mahogany and two coats of Boiled Linseed Oil. (I do need to get some 1/3 wax and finish it off still) It has a really nice sheen to it, tried showing it here... Got a spam can on the way! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigtwin 219 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Very nice! I sanded my 91/30 down with a green scouring pad(after using steam to remove all cosmoline) and stained it with the minwax Sedona red. After that I used boiled linseed oil hand rubbed it and now it looks very nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sobrenegade 795 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Nice job. Might be time to put some earrings on my pig, after my holster builds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big John! 2,062 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Great score. Gun looks great. I'll pick up a mosin one day and guarantee I'll do the same. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
