So you think it is OK just the way it is? Wouldn't it look better with six coats of BLO?

Just because you are a moose and not a steer, doesn't make you stupid. You're still not a steer, though.

Beautiful rifle Martin, thanks for the write up, plenty there that I didn't know! :thumbsup:

Oh yeah and in case I left it out............. I think you stole it! :mrgreen:

Did you see what that most recent "curved logo" went for? The US made Mosins definately command a "premium".

That curved logo gun was very unique, in that it fell under the production run that was destined for Russia, but never was shipped to Russia. Maybe only a handful or two of those guns exist to this day. It was mighty special, and the $2,000-plus price tag supported its rarity.
