Good Evening from the Big Sky Country where our temperature is hovering around zero and me with a snow blower that won't start !!

I have two Mosin Nagants M91/30 both 1943 Izhevsk. Just ordered a Steyr 95/34 that is in transit.

My first and only question is how this form feels about restoration??....one of my Mosin's arrived with the stock in horrible shape so I stripped, sanded, re-stained it and added a layer of shellac followed by Tru-Oil. I left all the bumps, dings, dents, markings , oil stains on the stock and it looks great to me.

I do know there are some that frown on this type of restoration and I don't want to step on anyone's toes before getting started on what appears to be a very interesting forum.
Thanks
