It doesn't feel tacky or anything, but it definitely has a a different feel to it. It's hard to describe but I guess waxy is one way to do it. It's not the same feel as my one Finn capture 91/30 for instance, even though the stocks look really similar.

I have a VERY similar rifle.  Does the finish feel "waxy" to you at all?

I snagged this last weekend, couldn't leave it sit. Serial number fits with it being an Spanish Civil War rifle, but no proof positive traits. Non-Finn, non-refurb, all pre-war features except one, no import marks. The floorplate was replaced with a T53 one at some point based on the huge serial number. The patina on it doesn't quite match the rest of the rifle, I think it was done here.

Mosin Nagant / Two ugly refurbed m38s in unusual stocks
« Last post by racerguy00 on April 15, 2015, 08:24:24 pm »
I recently picked up two m38 refurbs that have stock variations I hadn't seen before. Both carbines, 42 and 44 Izhevsks, are covered in flakey shellac and have the sloppy black paint that shows up. What sets these apart are both are in M38 stocks, one with half liners front AND rear, and one with a half liner front and pressed in escutcheons in the rear slot. I had never seen an m38 stock like the first, and only a few 91/30 stocks like the second. Both stocks are covered in stamps, the first one has an inspection stamp that matches a similar '43 Izhevsk stock that I was able to compare it to. Both carbines are forced matched and are not counterbored. Older R-Guns imports, caked in the gooey refurb grease.

Enjoy the pics.

Hey clay I was big into '36 and '37 date 91/30s before Miller made it cool.   :D

So far it is. :D

I got that buck in 2000 with a 45/70 Handi-Rifle from about 15 yards away.  :o

You have been hanging out with those Miller boys to much lately. They got you buying into collecting single year rifles thing that they do. ;D
