I got lucky and picked up a 1930 91/30 yesterday (yep, one of the very first 91/30s) at an auction. The bluing looks great (re-arsenal?) and it is in a pre-war stock. The problem is the stock has been "bubba painted" with a spray paint camo pattern (I'm sure it fooled a lot of deer!). I have reviewed earlier threads but none of them mention what the original finish on a pre-war Mosin Nagant stock should be. The stock on this gun needs to be stripped and I want to return it to its original finish. Can anyone advise what that would be or where I can find the info on it? I know it is not that nasty red shellac finish. Thank you for your help!
