Sorry I meant the wood finish

I’m trying to figure out if this wood finish was done during an Arsenal refurb or if some bubba refinished it?
Very cool. Thank you very much for all the info!
Very well. With that being said, I did not see any FTR marking on the rifle. Could it have not been refurbed then?
Oh alright cool. And does a Mk3 sight mean post war or did they produce Mk3 sights for no.4 MkI enfields originally from the factory?
So it Has nothing to do with 1947?
Saw an all matching British no4. mk1 enfield today. My question is, were No. 4 Mk1s originally fitted with Mk3 sights or were Mk3 sights put in post war?
Second question is what does an M47 stamp...
Okay but the question is which S symbol signifies Austria and the other S symbol for Bulgaria because there’s 2 types of S
I picked up a beautiful all matching M95
There are two different “S” symbols on the barrels of M95s. One “S” has lines on the ends and the other “S” is a simple “S” with no lines. Which “S”...
No i don't have my timelines messed up. After Germany annexed Austria, they forced them to expel nearly all of their M95 rifles. They ended up selling them to Bulgaria. The Bulgarians refurbed...
Im looking into buying an M95 Mannlicher and i dont know much about them. How can you tell if the gun is a pre war build or a post war build?
Both these threads were posted at the same time i said below on the other thread I was purposely posting in both threads to get more answers.
Basically a lot of the shellac on my Mosin chipped off about 2 years ago when I brought it out in the extreme cold. Little did I know extreme cold weather is not very good on shellac finishes so I...

We're Refurbed Carcano's ever given mismatching stocks without being renumbered?
Same rifle yes. If you look at the serial number one Cartouche, they look faded. Im pretty sure the stock was sanded now, I just want to know if perhaps it was done at an Italian arsenal
Im looking at this Carcano rifle and the finish looks like its original but the serial numbers and Cartouche seem to be slightly faded (maybe from sanding). Is it possible that the rifle was...
Well the reason i ask if its sanded is because the serial numbers and cartouche look somewhat faded. Perhaps it was sanded at the italian arsenal when it was rebuilt? Is that common for Carcano...
I looking at this nice Carcano rifle online and i want to make sure it was NOT sanded/refinished by a previous owner. Based off the pictures what do you think?
Im looking at this Carcano rifle and it looks very nice but i want to make sure its not sanded and refinished by a previous owner. What do you guys think?
The scratches go deep into the wood. They're scratches you can feel. I wish they were only varnish scratches but unfortunately not
I would generally agree but its more than just a scratch as you see. Its at least 30 different scratches in one small area, as if someone took a knife and just started slicing up the finish in that...
I bought a K98 and it has a lot of scratches on the side of the stock which kind of bother me. i am not considering refinishing the stock no matter what but is there some kind of way I can hide...
I bought this nice K98 but these scratches on the side of the stock kind of bother me. I am absolutely not considering refinishing the stock, however, is there anyway I can cover up these scratches?
