[QUOTE="ronny, post: 919791, member: 8853"] If you have a rifle that has true collector value, you will negatively affect that value by refinishing. You mentioned Garand. Most US Milsurps are oiled. You won't hurt it to re-oil it. Don't sand it. I saw a Garand at a gun show a few weeks ago. It had had a polyurethane-like finish applied. Looked like highly polished Weatherby stock. UUUUUGLY. If you're talking a Mosin, unless it's a truly rare one, have at it. Once again, don't sand it. But, strip the shellac and re-do it to your heart's content. If you then don't like it, re-strip it. Denatured Alcohol takes shellac off easily. You should enjoy your rifles. Just don't be foolish if you have a valued one. WE NEED A MILSURP SECTION. [/QUOTE]
