How big a bottle would I need for refinishing a single gun stock? (M38 Mosin Nagant Carbine)

If you want a low/semi gloss finish, the smaller bottle should do the trick. However, if you want it very glossy (which may be too reflective for hunting purposes) you may want to go with the 8 oz bottle since it will require around a dozen coatings. Hope this helps!

The small bottle would do fine. Don't peel the foil protective cap off. Instead just poke it with a nail to open a small hole. Between coats or when finish put the white cap back on and store upside down. Great product have fun!

Like the other 2 replies. A small bottle will be more then enough. You even may have over half of it left depending on the finish you are looking for. I put 4 to 5 coats on a stock and still have over half left. This was on stocks such as Rem 700 etc. Hope this was of help.

A couple of drops of Silicone Chamber Oil in the small chamber oppisite from where the pellets are placed, well keep the piston and seal properly serviced. This should be done after 1,000 or 1,500 pellets are fired through the rifle, but avoid over lubercation, because it will cause inaccuracy in the weapon by saturating the barrel with oil. Do not continuiously clean and oil the weapon. This practice is unecessary, and will adversly affect weapon accuracy and performance. When all else fails, read your weapon manual, and follow the manufacturers maintenance guidance.

Please refer to the RCBS YouTube video series Reloading military surplus brass part 1. Primer is the large size. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1kzqzvGvAA

The only mod I had to do was dremel a small bit on the inside as it was keeping the rounds from being able to load into the magazine. Took maybe 5 minutes, easy fix. Other then that it fits perfect, turned down bolt and all. I highly recommend this stock if you are looking to modernize your Mosin Nagant.

You need .223 trimmer. You can get the lee one, it's a little rod that goes through the brass case that is measure to trim it universally to the right demensions. It's cheap and works well for casual reloading. Without a doubt a .223 case gauge and calipers. The case gauge is used to quickly check a resized case to see if it head space is good and whether the case needs to be trimmed. You can just take a quick look at a case in the gauge and then if it look like it's too long then trim it. It really speeds up the process. I don't know about hand washing cases. I would spend 40 bucks get a Frankfort tumbler and use some crush walnut shells and tumble your brass in there, so easy. Toss them in there let the tumbler run for some hours and they are clean. Lastly you need to lube your cases before you resize. Don't waste your time with the lube you need to run onto each case. Get hornady one shot spray lube. It comes in a aerosol can. What you do it place all your cases you are going to load in your one sitting (or however you prefer to reload) stand them each up on their base so the case mouth is pointing up. Spray the lube on an angle in each direction quickly and also into the sizing die. You will be all set. A lot quicker and less dirty. Trust me get that lube. As for dies. Get the lee .223 pacesetter die set. And you will also need a rifle charging die. It universal rifle charging die. And I believe the lee turret press come with an auto disk riser. But you need a riser for the charging die because the powder hoper will hit the primer feed. Get CCI small rifle primers and I use CFE-223 powder. And 55grain bullet fmj. I just reload for plinking so I don't care about accuracy. But everyone is different.

When the remaining paint in the bottle dries up, simply add a touch of hot water to it, a little at a time and stir it with a round tooth pick till it starts to mix, but better yet and much more efficient, I tape it to a vibrating tumbler I have to clean my dirty, fired pistol brass. It's already water based anyway so you can't hurt it with water.

Sure. Just be sure to use gun cleaning solution, not brass cleaning solution.

Absolutely. The cleaning rod is 30" (including brush), I believe the barrel of the Mosin Nagant is 29". I have used it to clean my Springfield Model 1898 30-40 Krag which has a 30" barrel.

This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers. I refinish gun stocks with it. I've probably done 20 stocks. I found out on gunstocks anyway, I like to stain the wood first although it doesn't require stain. If you go that route, let the stain dry. Then apply the Tung Oil. I usually do at least 2 coats of Tung Oil. Sometimes 3 letting it dry between each coat. I also rub it in before every hunting season on my waterfowl gun for extra protection. I showed my cousin that stock and his jaw dropped. Looks professional. This isn't a product you use with a brush or sprayer. You rub it in with a small rag. Most of the time, I just use my fingers.

my use for this paint has been for detail work in coloring 50 caliber ammunition belts for vintage military aircraft and armored vehicle models.as such, I do not know how it would compare to powder coating on larger items.

I'm sorry for late response, it's probably going to need a medium but I would take the gun to a gun shop and have it matched up and you're on the right path low is best. Good Luck

Sorry, I used a Chinese model 53 Carbine Mosin Nagant Style Rifle, Had to do some sanding/Grinding for it to Fit Like I wanted. I have a Hex Barrel 91/30 and the original stock is pretty decent, All serial numbers match,The Hex Receiver is worth more as a collectors Gun, leave it as is,if you can.

I have at this point probably 100k rounds through the AR-15 pattern rifle. This will work, but it is mediocre and needs re-applyed often. Get a dedicated gun oil (Breakfree LP, Weapon Shield, Slip 2000 EWL, M-Pro 7 Gun Oil, etc) and a dedicated gun cleaner (such as Slip 2000 725 gun cleaner, Ballistol, M-Pro 7 gun cleaner)Someone else recommended Breakfree powder blast. It is too strong and will remove the dry film moly based lubricant that is semi permanently sprayed into the upper receiver. Use a less caustic cleaner such as I have recommended above and do not use powder blast in an AR-15 upper. I have at this point probably 100k rounds through the AR-15 pattern rifle.

I just wiped my gun down. My stock is synthetic, so I didn't have to work with the wood. It's pretty straight forward, take your time and it looks great

Be careful. Some expecially with any regular gun solvents.Best to check with Crosman.

Theoretically: Yes. It will take some force in the resizing die. If you're gonna do a few at a time, it will work. If you want to crank out several hundred, get a bench press. Be sure to lube your brass. Also, bear in mind that Milsurp 5.56 brass has a crimped primer pocket, and the standard Lee dies aren't up to that, but for .223Rem they work well. The Lee Ram primer works well on this press, but again if you're only doing a few at a time. Too tedious for a lot of rounds.
