Mauser is done

[Paulie Lugnuts]

Our RC K98k is done. Rubbed BLO into the wood and finished it off with some paste wax. Pretty happy with the results.

Der Furher will be proud!!

Must say job well done! I know where to go to now when my 98k comes in :P

That looks great! I have a sanded down Mosin I still need to finish. What paste wax did you use?

[Paulie Lugnuts]

I used Minwax paste finishing wax. Here's the original thread.

What does the wax do? What happens if you don't use it?


(I just re-did my No.4 Enfield myself last week, and I'm getting ready to re-do my K-31 today).

Looking good. I like the finish of the wood, well done.

As cars run better when they're waxed, guns shoot better...

Looks decent. Any change of getting a photo with the lights on?

[rojocorsa]

What does the wax actually do to the wood though?

A protective coating, a little harder than the wood itself.

Looks real good. The wood has a nice blond color to it.

I'll take a pic outside this weekend The wood is decent, not perfect. It looks much better than it did with that crappy commie shellac on it.

How's this. Taken outside in the sunlight.

That is beautiful.

Throwing this out from the other thread for comparison:



Excellent job.

Oh wow, that is a beautiful looking K98 you have there. My Yugo capture is getting lonely, I need to get me another one
