[QUOTE="ronny, post: 926774, member: 8853"] I had read that post earlier but didn't put 2 and 2 together. I assume the receiver cover has no star or date on top. Does it have the serial number on the rear of the receiver cover? Looks like all you need to do is find a late blade bayonet and you're home free. If you decide to refinish it, I'd suggest a wipedown with denatured alcohol first. This will tend to smooth out the existing shellac. Someone may have already mentioned this. Then use shellac thinned quite a bit with denatured alcohol. Do as many coats as you think is proper for the effect you want. It's easy and if you screw up, denatured alcohol will take it off. I have achieved a really good Russian red look on Mosins by mixing Black and Wine Ritt liquid dye and then mixing it with the shellac. After it dries, I use a denatured alcohol soaked rag and wipe away some of the color for that shaded effect. I don't know if that will work very well on laminated stocks. [/QUOTE]
