  1. Hey guys, that's standard AKM wood. I got it on the forum from member Tokarz1 & refinished it myself

     

    I used Minwax red mahogany stain.

     

    Sand well, to 500 grit, then, 1 heavy coat stain, let dry 1 day.

     

    Wipe excess off LIGHTLY & do 1 more VERY HEAVY coat & let dry 1 week.

    Lightly buff with .0000 steel wool, just to remove any overly thick areas of stain, but not enough to lighten the color.

     

    Then spray 1 heavy coat of Minwax Spar urethane Helmsman high gloss varnish. (not the stuff specified as water-based)

    Let dry at least 1 week before handling.

  2. To shape, I used a fine dremmel sanding drum.

    To smooth, I used abrasive prep pads on a drill. Dremmel also makes abrasive buffs, but I have a bunch of drill mount pads that I got cheap, so I saved the dremmel buffs for tighter quarters work in the future.

    To polish, I used the dremmel, with wool pads & red polishing compound.

     

    I only addressed the areas that move against the shells & hammer as the bolt rotates, extracts & feeds & the carrier re-cocks the hammer.

    I did not remove as much steel as some do, due to the fact that I fire a lot of 3" magnum & don't wish to compromise the integrity of my bolt.

     

    It now cycles even smoother than before & loading mags on a closed bolt is easier.

  4. One of the sharpest cammo jobs I've seen.

    Well done.

     

    If you can't decide between the 5 or 10, get a russian 8.

    Oleg at - rus military . com - has them in stock... They cost about $140 shipped to your door though. I think they're the sexiest mag out there, & since they're the most dependable, you can't go wrong... except for the $$$, but, you gotta pay to play!

    (I spread the name of Oleg's Co. out so as not to post a non-contributor link.)

  5. Post a vid of the boy shooting it! :lolol:

     

    It has the pad, so it won't break his shoulder, but I'd be interested to see if the first shot knocked him down. :rolleyes:

     

    You better load the first one with .00 magnum & have the gas setting set for bird shot. :devil:

     

    You'll win america's funniest videos.
