    Restoring Mosin Nagant Stock

    Hello Everyone, I currently have a Mosin Nagant M44 and Mosin Nagant M91/30, both of which have the original shellac removed especially around the front barrel bands. The stock wood is in good shape besides the shellac finish. Does anyone know how to exactly replicate the red shellac the Russians used on the rifles if that is the original wartime finish? I have seen several other finishes on the stocks of Mosins and is the red shellac a correct finish. What would be the best means to refinish the stock (no sanding needs to be done)?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Well, I use shellac flakes of the right color that I get from a place called Lee Valley here in Canadaicon. I dissolve them in the proper thinner and use it for touch ups, or in some cases re-coating if the previous coat of shellac is mostly gone. I'm considering this maintenance rather than "Bubba" since without shellac, the wood is not protected and subject to permanent damage.
