My Mosin Nagant coffee table build

[Chrisb319]

Picked up a crate from another member and I plan on making my own coffee table based on this:
Mosin Nagant Rifle Crate Coffee Table « AIM

It looks to be in good shape, my plan is to reuse as much of the original wood as possible.

Anyone know what any of the symbols on the crate mean?

the symbol on the lower left of the front face is for the treatment of the wood. UA is the country code for Ukraine and 2129 registration number. HT is heat treated. And DB is for debarked. You will see these markings on all wood products that get exported/imported - usually on pallets. They have to heat treat the pallets to kill bugs and what not - its to avoid insect infestations moving across borders etc.

That is sick! It's also good for home defense.. someone kicks the door in, open the crate and arm the family with Mosins!

Like Asian Longhorned beetles that are infesting Worcester county?

Awesome, where did you get the crate from?

You need a plaque "in case of emergency break glass"

It's not mine, but I wish it was. That sign would certainly be appropriate though.
