War time laminated stocks?

[ArtyMan]

Hello everyone,

I was recently looking at a soviet Mosin Nagant m91/30 for sale, it was an izhevsk dated 1942, and seemed to be absolutly prestine in every way, still packed in what looked like original cosmoline! I figure this was most likely aresenal refinished, as I cant imagine finding an original in that condition. I was just wondering is it typical of rifles made during the war to have laminated stocks?

Thanks a lot

No. It is very very rare for a Mosin-Nagant to have a wartime laminated stock. Almost all laminated stocks were post-war and installed during the refurbishment.

Even harder to find, a laminated stock on a No4. Have seen a pic of one.
