The M44's finish was looking pretty rough and I needed something to do during my spring break, so I decided to refinish it and add a scope. I ordered the scope and mount kit last week and started sanding Friday night. The scope is a Simmons Prohunter 4x. The mount is from S&K, very sturdy. For the finish I used a spar urethane. Before I started  Disassembled  Beat up original finish.   Sanded  First coat  Finished  -------------

Scout mount on the scope. I like. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America. It is forced and the democrats are behind it, with the goal of eugenics at its foundation." -FreeEnterprise, 21 April 2011. Yup, he actually said that. |

Please tell me you didn't sand down so far as to remove the proofing stamps on the stock.
Also, you couldn't get a PU type scope mount and scope? BAH! ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

You mean this ? Also, a PU scope/mount would require me to bend my bolt handle 90 degrees. -------------

That's one of them. Mine has about 20 stamps in total, I've even got the USSR cartouche on mine rather clearly as well. Kinda rare that one. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Took it to the range yesterday to sight in and found out something interesting. The rear sight base is crooked, which makes the scope crooked to the point that I can't make up for it by adjusting windage. It was off probably 1.5-2 feet at 25 yards.  So it looks like I have to find a used sight base that isn't crooked and have some more work to do. For now the irons are back on.-------------
