    How can i repair or cover up these scratches without refinishing

    I bought a K98icon 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 these scratches?

    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.

    Not to get too far off point, but why would you want to? To me, each nick, dent or scratch is just a small story in its history.

    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 particular area

    If it is dented then you could use steam to raise the wood. (Wet towel over area then put a hot iron on it, let it steam up and check your progress)But if they are cut's like you are saying I can't help there.
