I think the stock turned out nice. I also have been debating the issue of refinished stocks. I see a lot of people saying "the stock has been refinished".. I personally think its an overrated "flaw".. I would rather see them refinished than rot away.

couldnt agree more especially with the russian refurbs, to be honest i dont think id ever even consider redoing some of the more expensive guns like an enfield stock or k98 stock unless i absolutly had to in order to preserve a piece. But on these it defiantly compliments the rifles nicely ive had many positive compliments. In all honesty the stock is still an original stock tho so its not like its a repo or anything.

Couldn't have said it better. I would rather have a nice original, refinished stock than a splintered piece of garbage with the remnants of its former glory.

while on the topic I have a 1917 BSA lee enfield mkIII* with replaced furniture most likely done pre WW2 and i have to say i prefer thats as far as a show piece and shooter than one with the original banged up and arsenal repaired stocks they seem rather unsafe to fire. But if you like a piece that tells a story the later is the way to go however for some reason they seem to hold a huge premium. Which is part of the reason i went with a pre WW2 furniture rebuild.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that stock. A few scratches add character, a splintering mess needs to be saved.
