I like it!
Looks like fun. I am messing with a 1942 Tula 91/30 with a very worn bore and flaking, peeling shellac, that I tried to make look like the “russkie red” shellac finish. The color turned out well, but it looks like “Ivan” aka Dynachrome was drunk when the shellac was applied! I’ll probably try tru-oil after stripping the shellac again.
