After I owned a few M39s, I just can't return to other Mosin Nagants. they all seem like garbage. .308 SMK in a M39 is just wow! best shooter I ever had.

Thanks escobert! 

It's too bad the retail supply of $79-99 T53s has dried up.  Mine has the typically "well used" stock but has a nice trigger and a decent bore, and I sure don't have to worry about putting a ding in the stock  :))

Those non-refurbed M44s that came in some time ago were nice, too... I like broke in.

I've since decided to pay the few extra bucks and get a M39. I'll be ordering one of the VKT Imperial Eagle's
tomorrow :D


EDIT: Ended up ordering the normal VKT. Eagles were low on stock and I worried about condition when they're low. Didn't want to pay the extra $25 and have it be super beat up just for a stamp on it. I can't wait for this baby to come in though :D

So I ended up with a 42 VKT, on a 1907 Izzy receiver, bluing is pretty well worn on anything showing and the stock has a couple dings but, overall I'm pleased with it. No cracks whew. I'd like to clean the stock up, nothing to ruin it but, not sure how t go about it. I just see so many pretty M39's and mines all dull and brown  :P

Congrats!  thumb1 Could you take some pics in natural light without s flash, so we can get a better look at it? Is it a post-war (square-fingered) or war time (round-fingered) stock?

Many collectors will say "do nothing" to the stock, and that's always the safest approach. The only thing I do to some stocks is rub on a bit of raw, pure, tung oil or linseed oil (no catalysts, no petroleum distillates), and then rub it off, to remove some of the oily dirt on the surface. I only do that to stocks where these types of vegetable oils were known, or widely believed, to be part of the stock treatment.

Any shims under the receiver?

Yeah I plan on getting it outside for some decent pics but, mother nature has been saying that's not allowed. It's a post war square config, and yeah I just want to get some of the dirt and grime off, and hope it'll bring a bit of the grain out. I know it wont look anything like the beautiful pre war stocks. No shims, haven't shot it yet so we'll see if I got lucky with one that didn't need them.

Mother nature decided to finally play nice. Also gave the stock a nice little lemon oil bath.
