Took me a while, been real busy with work and the family. It's a 1954 Romanian M44 that I have owned since about 2003. All numbers match, no rust. Paid $100 out the door for it from Brick Armory. I have shot it a few times, but for the most part it sat in the safe collecting dust. So I broke it down and stripped all the gunk off, strip, stain, and shellac on the wood, and then put back together.

Nice job....looks new

wow that's Purdy, great job on it!

Nicely done.

Nicely done.

I used Minwax color Gunstock. I used that color on pretty much all my wood projects. Every now and then I will use Ebony. That comes out great on oak.

very nice....now sell it to me....lol

Lmao. Not going to happen.

Soaked everything in mineral spirits, scrubbed it with a nylon bristled brush, cleaned bore with some good old #9, wiped everything down with CLP.

Well done

I was worried,  I was going to see a chopped up M44 in a plastic stock .
