[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4149153, member: 13337"] You could easily be correct Cowadle,,, I felt that way after I "sporterized" my British .303 back in the 1960's. Sporterizing meant just chopping the front off of the stock. I found another stock set at an army surplus store,,, And put the rifle back to it's original condition. All the mil-surps I bought after that,,, I just sanded and refinished the woodwork,,, And polished or re-blued the metal as necessary. I made good money mowing lawns and babysitting,,, Alden's catalog had most mil-surp rifles for $20.00 or less. My rifle rack had some very handsome mil-surps on it,,, Especially that .303 because the stock was some beautiful walnut. I just can't get the image of my friend's SKS out of my head,,, It truly was an elegant looking shooter with that deep crimson stock. I'm in no hurry,,, So I'll start by just stripping and sanding the stock. It's some very bland blond-ish wood that I don't recognize,,, It will benefit from some aggressive hand sanding. I'll decide what to do when I get that part done. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
