I know a couple of us were posting our C&Rs in the other thread, but here, I'll break this thread in...
I just got this last Friday afternoon.

All shooters!
My No.4 had some varnish and stain beforehand, (so someone already touched the stock). All I did was remove this prior finish back to its natural state.
The upper handguards are walnut, and the stock is beech. Now they got a natural tone and feel to them. We sanded down the rough scratches (there were some going against the grain! , and this also took out the nasty plasticky feel the wood had).
After sanding to an ultra-fine texture, I went over the wood with seven coats of BLO. It feels good now.

The wood will darken over time. At first I wasnt too sure whether I was going to dig the two tone look, but it's not bothering me and the wood feels nice and clean.

Some pics of my Mosin Nagant M44. Izhevsk 1944 production, nothing special. Its a fun rifle, not so much for my shoulder, though. Nice to get away from the "tactical" side of the house every now and again and just plink.

All matching numbers but has the wrong stock for its production period. The stock doesn't bother me since I like the post-war more than the pre-war.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...1/IMG_3114.jpg
Acquired these in a trade. Pair of mint condition No 4 Mk 2 Enfields. These are 1955 production "UF 55" series guns, which are the last No 4's made in the UK (at least in non-specialized form). The production tooling was evidently later shipped to Pakistan (IIRC).

Sadly, both of these are gone,

K98 is complete repro..(Scope and Mount) Stock is a total unmolested beauty.

Almost forgot these ;)

Wow! Some nice looking P14's or Model 1917's! I got to shoot my P14 for the first time yesterday. My poor reconstructed shoulder is not pleased...I shouldn't have gone prone...
1941 Long Branch N0.4 Mk1
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/102_6258.jpg
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q..._6259-Copy.jpg
I had to do a little work on thi one. Here is how that progressed. http://bobsstuffandnonsense.blogspot...branch-no.html
This one was not a military contract rifle. it was built by BSA for the commercial market and converted to a Target rifle by Fulton's some time in the late 20s. It is a BSA No.1 MkIII*.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/102_6238.jpg
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...t/102_6235.jpg
Both rifles are currently fitted with Parker Hale aperture rear sights. The sights on the BSA No.1 are original to the rifle and were fitted by Fulton's when the rifle was new. The sights on the Long Branch No.4 were installed by me. Not a difficult proposition because they were designed to use existing bolt holes so no drilling and taping or permanent modifications of any kind were needed.
There's an M44 in here somewhere :)

My small milsurp collection.
First off, 1954 Springfield M1 Garand all matching, and 1943 Remington M1903A3 all matching. 1943 American Fork & Hoe bayonet on the 03A3 and Utica Cutlery bayonet on the Garand. Next is my low one million serial number Winchester M1 Carbine with a Greek Carbine bayonet. It's a typical post war mix master, but came with it's DCM paperwork. Next is my 1950 Long Branch Enfield No 4 Mk 1* that's all matching. Following that is my all matching AX 41 K98k Mauser, and my early Nagoya Type 99 Arisaka that's all matching. Last but not least is my Finnish Tikkakoski M27 Mosin Nagant, and my New England Westinghouse Finn capture Mosin Nagant.

I got tired of the horrible look the mosin stock came with so last week I decided to change its look. I stripped it and stained it with traditional cherry then coated with boilded Lin seed oil.
