Awesome collection! never seen that light of wood on a mosin!

The light one is "Lyudmilla," my 38 Tula 91/30. I didn't intend for her to be so light in finish.

I messed up when I used some harsh Winchester solvent on her metal parts to remove the cosmoline and the finish on the stock started melting off. I wasn't happy about messing up the original finish, but I had to keep wiping to make it look right.

The result was a natural, significantly lightened bare wood finish that I really like now.

You're mosins make me jealous. Nice guns tho.

I guess I'll have to go out and find their cousins.
I have a 91/30 and one mosin isn't enough.

I like the light wood on the mosin, very different, but very nice!
