Hello all,
I recently came into possession of a M39, and an even older Civil Guard SK stamped Nagant. The stock for both are pretty rough. Both have multiple cracks, and one looks like it has been Bondo'd back together. The rifle that is in the best condition is the M39. It is stamped 1939. The other one doesnt have a date stamp but bears the marking of one of the gGermancompanies that built new barrels for the Civil Guard. I havent done much research on it yet.
I want to bring the M39 back to its former glory. I can get a decent stock off of Ebay and other places, but I was considering going with a new composite, But I am on the fence about that.
The Barrel is in pretty good shape, the lands and grooves are in good shape. I still have a lot of cleaning to do, it ha cosmolean all in it. Ill get some pics up when I get home.
What are your thoughts on the best way to bring this old warrior back from the grave?
Here are a few pics of it.
