I sanded mine to bare wood and stained it black.

If you actually shoot yours don't use shelac. It'll bubble up when the gun gets hot. My Mosin is my only gun at the moment so when I get together to shoot with my friends I go through alot of rounds. I got mine for a hundred bucks so if the stock gets screwed up it's no biggy. There's always the ATI stock on amazon for 60. I shoot mine like it's a .22 all day. What year and make is yours? I have a 1939/42 russian 91/30. Haven't rednecked it and don't plan to.

Just saw you had a 91/30 in your post sorry cp101

Don't think that one is quite legal in my part of the world.  And dayum.....imagine the muzzle flash.

Sri off topic..to original poster..I have had some turn out looking pretty good by stripping the old finish, staining it, and using tung oil.

got a 1933 91/30 and haven't really messed with the wood. I like the older look.

Curry how did you get the front sight back on or is it a new one? Been thinking of shortening mine just not as much as that. That looks like fun to shoot!

Looks like a wrist breaker to me.  I don't think I would want to shoot it.
