I have had pictures of my scout Mosin in this forum many times. This time is a little different. I have wanted to reshape and lighten up the stock for a long time now. I posted a thread about it many months ago. Honestly I was really worried about screwing it up so bad I would need a new one, so that kind of made me hesitate quite a bit on the project. I work in the wood working industry, but I am not a craftsman at all.

I have no desire to modify any of the stocks on my standard Mosins. This is just for my scout that has already been heavily modified. No need to get upset. I am just looking for opinions.

This stock is about 1/4" thinner side to side over the whole length and even more than that in the butt stock itself. I am not worried about it breaking because this scout has very little recoil with the brake I made for it.

The area on the bottom of the stock around the trigger guard/magazine is about 1/8" thinner as well. The trigger guard was inletted well inside the stock and now the inside of the trigger guard is even with the wood. I put a larger radius around the trigger guard as well so your finger more naturally curves around the stock to get into the trigger guard. The wrist drop on top gives a much more pronounced place for my thumb to sit. The wrist is a lot smaller and thinner. The wrist swells as it leads up to the top opening of the stock, but not where you hand rests.

I am not concerned about the dark spots. They go all the way through the wood around the forend. They don't bother me at all. The finger grooves are very shallow now. Again, it really doesn't matter.

I am going to buy a small can of Sedona Red for it tomorrow. I haven't decided what finish I am going to use on it. I like boiled linseed oil, but I might try tung oil instead.



Honest opinions welcome. If you would remove more wood on some part of the stock I would love to hear ideas. I want it as light as I can without sacrificing too much strength. If my scout ends up under 8 lbs after this I would be happy.

Maybe put a groove on each side of the rear of the stock like the ones in the front?

Can you shorten it to where the barrel band is?  Is there enough of a bedding in the stock to hold the action without it?

I haven't looked at my MN in a while.  Can't remember.

My scout is free floated. I really don't like the look with the stock cut to the barrel band. It just looks too short to me. I really felt that it looked better with it a bit longer. I left it longer on my wife's Scout as well.

Having a hard time finding Sedona Red locally.  Kind of wanted to get this thing stained so I could start the boiled linseed oil.

6 stores to find Sedona red! It will have the mosin color again with a sleeker stock.

I have the first coat of stain on the stock. I have another hour before I can put my second coat on it. Probably do  3 or 4 to get the color right.

Nice job!  I was trying to avoid a new stock and get the better feel of a more ergonomic stock.

Two coats of stain. It looks like I will need at least two more to get the color right.  Not looking bad though. I want it to have rich color before I start the BLO. It seems to need about 15 minutes to get the penetration before wiping.  Just too much cosmoline still in the stock I think.  Minwax sucks anyway.

I'm starting to lean toward the more traditional amber shellac. I've got the color right. I think the hint of yellow will really work well.

On the forearm there's a groove  on each side,  replicate that on the stock.

I think I used gunstock stain the last time.  It was a nice brown but I was not completely satisfied.  I have the 4th coat of stain soaking in now. I hope to start the amber shellac tomorrow afternoon.  I picked it up a short time ago.  I am really liking the red.  The shellac might be just the thing to really make the color become alive.

The stock is looking awesome!  I'll be putting a third coat on it in a couple hours.  I think once it's done I am going to go over it with a gray scotch brite to take the shine off.  I like the matte finish rather than a bright shine.  I may do up to four coats before I'm happy with it

Brushing on shellac sucks. I have a couple spots where the stain is light because I sanded too aggressively on brush marks. Next time I am going to put on a few coats before i do more than barely scuff the surface. It is still looking killer. I will have the last coat on tonight.

A very light touch with gray non woven abrasive will get rid of the mild shine and it will look excellent.

I used a maroon and gray scotch brite to dull the shellac shine. It is not finished yet but it has to wait until next weekend.  I like how it looks.

The closest I can calculate for birch is that those grooves will remove 0.19 ounces. I figured I sanded away about 12 oz.

I don't know but I hollowed out the back 8" off my stock years ago to drop weight. It's still plenty thick. This mosin has very little recoil.

I wasn't happy with a few defects in my stock so I just re sanded it and started staining again. I'll have time to finish it by tomorrow.

The finish is still green in a few spots. I put a heater on it to keep it warm in the front room. I'm hoping it will harden up a bit over night. Just a few spots the finish was a bit too thick to cure normally. Hopefully it will be okay.

I have to say that I like it. The stock looks better short with that notch in it. I really don't usually care for the stock that short.

I think my ideal length for a hunting Mosin would be in the 20" barrel length range.

How did you come up with the barrel length?  How much does it weigh? Where did you find a Finn front sight to mount on it?

I would probably just find a dove tail cutter to remount the original front sight if I couldn't find a Finn sight.

Not sure about the weight.  I'll have to weigh it.  I think I did and it went 7 lbs but I forget.

I cut the Schnabel forestock tip to give it a little something extra over a blunt cut tip.  Then added under and side swivel studs as I will carry the rifle double-slung Biathlon style when bear hunting and skiing.

As for barrel length I hacksawed off the front 2 inches or so and then slid the M39 front sight down to where it stopped and cut the barrel off there.  Handles very nicely.  Worked out to 23 inches on the dot.  I used a hand cutter to cut a new muzzle and crown on it.  Trigger has been replace with a M39 2-stage trigger, also.

Burned our brand into it with a soldering iron.

I like it. Where did you get the M39 sight? I could easily turn the barrel down to fit it at 20".

I think I would like to find a bubba'd mosin to try and make a very light weight, open sight general purpose rifle.

Here's one of my bear.  Shot with M39;
