M59 stock refinished?
« on: February 01, 2019, 05:17:23 PM »
GM, I didn't think I should put this question in the sticky you have on the M59.


I'm wondering if you or anybody else can tell me if this finish on this M59 stock looks correct. I feel it may have been refinished. But then I look at the other photos and think maybe it's just lighting. I'm only trying to focus on the stock at moment. Thanks

My guess it's a later refurb or maybe even a Cherry's import. Looks like they reblued it, looks like it totally got the rebuild works at the refurb shop. The finish is nice, even and dark. Does stock match the rifle? Does it have the 1.TRZ stamp...

I'd say it possibly hasn't been refinished... The finger grooves are too sharp on the edges and the notch for the safety is still sharp. So it hasn't been sanded at least. Also, it's not shiny either so that hopefully rules out truoil and all the other useless garbage people smear on their rifle stocks.

Got any more pictures...... a little too pretty for me......I like them beat to death and slam worn out......but.. I kinda like what I'm seeing. drool2

That PW Arms import stamp is one of the new ones of the past several years.  I bet it's a Slovenian refurb.  They typically did a nice job on them... thumb1

Yup it's a later import, just prior to the change to dot matrix....PW Arms and their big 'ol stamp.

So...... Is it in your possession? Hummm....

You did at least put it on law-a-way I hope.  If not.. where is it :)  rofl2

Sold....to me... clap1  dance2  thumb1

Thanks for the help gents.

A little more info gas tube don't match, he agrees with assessment believes it was arsenal reblued and the bluing is in great shape. He believes it was barely shot/ used since rearsenal. He never shot. Bore appears in real good shape (not corroded) and rifling is sharp.

That bolt carrier used to be on a 59/66A1 in a former life. Note the notching around the stripper clip guide to allow for the flip up night sights.  My 59/66 has that too...

If my M59 has a hotter older sister...yours is it. Mine's about 5k newer and looks 50k older. :)

Nice score!

Justin, you are correct. I forgot in my "update" that he said it looked like the bolt carrier had been scrubbed on top you could just barely make out numbers. Which I figured was a different bolt carrier since the carrier is stamped or EP'd on side.

GM- All in it'll be approx. $545... although I think it's slightly over, he wanted to send through his FFL that added $15 and don't know exact on ship yet so maybe a little less. That total is shipped w/ my FFL in there also. He said any overage he would take care of. I didn't want to lose over $15. I knew about the +$15 before I posted questions about it.

After talking to owner (seems really solid) I'm really confident gun is what he says it is. Pictures look good. Best bore I seen on one (personally).

Thanks again for everyones help.

OK, so I finally got this M59 in and I need to know what's going on here. Is it something I should be concerned about or is it somewhat "common" on these guns. The serial number ...... was a "4" not a "5" on the end. The second last "3" looks like a retrace.....


And is it common for a receiver serial number to be EP'd and not stamped??????????







Let me know what you think.
