They look awesome...but one word of advice. Dont refinish anything, especially the old ww2 collectibles. Unless their all mismatched/sporterized...

[borekfk]

Yeah the Mauser was a Russian Capture, the bolt was mismatched, and a few other pieces were mismatched as well, so I figured it was time for the shellac finish to go. The Mossberg was pretty scratched up so I wanted to refinish it, and the Stevens wood stock looked like plastic.

I have a k98 all matching from a friend that served in ww2 (wake island).
He brought his garand home, before he died he gave it to a friend of mine son along with a two page hand written letter stating how and when he carried it.
I dont know where he got the k98's but what a hell of a gun. i should of grabbed the tanker k98 he had

That's awesome. Firearms with that kind of history... it just doesn't get any better than that.

[borekfk]

No it does not get any better than shooting historical firearms, every scratch and dent can tell a story, that's why I just removed the removed the Soviet shellac and coated it with boiled linseed oil, didn't do anything to try and remove the dents and dings.

Hehehe, yeah the Tantal had that funky folding stock, I really didn't like the darn thing so I picked up a TAPCO stock on sale off of whatacountry.com. I thought about painting the handguards black to match, but I decided I liked the contrasting look. The TAPCO stock needs a few washers in order to fit perfectly. I think it looks cool.
