hot water and a towel and an iron. dip the towel in the hot water lay it on the wood area that is dented and put the iron on it for a minute at a time, sand and repeat if necessary, for removing most dents and mares . works great.
Your video inspired me to not only refinishing my AK but also my M1, which I'm currently working on, with my 10/22 next in line. Thanks for the great video and the beautiful furniture it's it's producing.
As a guy that works in Home building / custom construction, that is generally one of the ways you can apply stain! You should’ve applied 3-4 coats of stain though to make a nice rich color Edit: just watched through the part where you did add more coats :)
Thank you brother I picked up a set of different pieces that are probably all from different parents from a gunshop on my way home. Some were finished some were unfinished unmatching colors and all that, but they all fit in my gun. Now I can make them a matching family!
I bought my AKM right before that school shooting...crazy how much the prices jumped up so much after the shooting especially in California where I live...thanks for the video I finally found the time to re-stain my AKM
Thank you for the great video and instruction. Starting the guards on my Z85. The way they came from Zastava is insane. They must have a 2 year old in a high chair that just slings black paint on them and calls it good.
Hey man, I really appreciate this video, since I just got me a Romanian WASR 10/63 and the stock is pretty hideous. Just one thing I'd recommend, as it would've saved me a little time. A list of all the tools, finish, and material you used such as the tung oil and sand paper grit, etc. would've been wonderful! Not complaining though, very informative video and again, much appreciated!
The good part about the Romanian WASR wood is that it's all pretty new and isn't soaked with decades of oil and other crap so aside from getting absolutely raw wood from a place like Ironwood they really make some of the best beginner refinishing project sets.
Man that looks GREAT! I think that wood grain is beautiful. I hope mine looks that good after I sand the paint, yes paint not stain, off that's on mine. Thanks for the vid..Oh, I know what you mean about the dog hair..lol.
I’m thinking of either the darkest brown stain I can find, or possibly even black stain. Not too sure I want to finish with rung oil, I may buy some high gloss finish and just go that route for finishing and protecting the stock. What do you think?
warning on tung oil, it WILL make sensitive skin swell up, even a week after its final coat is applied. my tung oil didnt fully dry for a solid month. so i beg yall, WASH YOUR HAND THROUGHLY after you use the tung oil and dont go to the bathroom till then.
Watching just now in January 2021. Your monologue on political pandering and fake moral meandering aged Very well actually. Nothing's changed bud, as I'm sure you are aware.
I used polyurethane on my sks and a few AK's. never knew about tung oil. Is there a advantage over polyurethane? My wood shines about the same but tung oil seems easier.
All this work and not patient enough to show finished rifle with wood assembled? Sigh. I just got an NPAP M70 underfolder with really nice forend furniture (teak they claim) with very raw finish....likely mostly cosmoline? Anyway....considering refinishing with new stain.....something in the charcoal color range. I want shades of black and gray though wood now shows very little grain....almost flat color which is typical of teak.....so am not sure how my refinish stain would work. I saw an AK with black stained furniture at a local gun show years ago and it was cool enough to stay with me. Though the stain was black, it brought out grain where darkest lines were virtually black and lighter grain grayish black with intermediate grans varying, but really sharp looking rifle.
I need a good idea for a nice dark red. I tried red mahogony on my mosin but its not as red as I wanted. I am refinishing an ak stock and I want a nice dark red.
If anyone is concerned about assault rifles being banned in there state and need info let me know. I can pretty much fill you in on the details since they used my state as a guinea pig for there sick gun ban crap. I live in Connecticut we went from being a state like your own with gun freedom to recently having assault rifles banned over night. I'm sure it would be a similar ban that they would be pushing for in your state so let me know and I can fill you in.
Les Deb I was being sarcastic when I said the word " assault Rifle". The media constantly calls are semi auto rifles "assault rifles" to make it sound more dramatic and violent. It’s a way to demonize something for a political agenda and misconstrue [the guns] and the public on the Second Amendment.
i agree out mental health care needs to be addressed, but people have had guns taken away just for getting help for insomnia..... and the govt can label any one mentally unable to have a firearm and bam you have a back door ban AND ITS ALREADY HAPPENED
random atheist and to mention, many people get 72 hour or week long observations and doctors will involuntary commit that patient just so their bill is picked up by the state and the patient won't have to pay anything.
