What was the original (WW2) finish on the Russian rifles? Was it the redd shellac or was it a plain wood? Thanks

Who is Ted?

So if all the Russian rifles had shellac finishes was it the red shellac or a plain natural color?

One day old. This looks like the place for answers though.

I have a 91-30 that shows no sogn of a shellac finish. To protect the stock should I just go with a 1/3 finish & give it a good rubbing in?

Great help from all of you. Thanks very much.

Ted can get a little testy can't he? But thanks to everybody. I appreciate the knowledge & help on this. There are some areas where I wish old Uncle Joe had kept good records.

Believe me man, I understand. It does cut both ways. I'm the same way. Goal oriented. Period.

And one other thing Ted, I don't know what alot of us would do without your web site. So please, keep up the good work. I's a worthy goal.
