I have a 1939 Mosin-Nagant rifle. The metal is in great shape, but it came with this hideous stock. It has been refinished at one time and appears to have poly on it. I'd like to return it to some facsimile of how it would have looked during WWII. I have plenty of experience with stripping and finishing of walnut milsurp stocks, but no idea what kind of wood this is. Stripping the poly off is no problem. I am told that the rifle is a Finnishicon Capture (don't know much about MNs). I usually mix up my own alcohol-based stain to use on walnut. Would that work on whatever type wood this is? Just looking for ideas before I waste a lot of time. Thanks.
