Life after the Kushnapup


Recommended Posts

I wanted to share a few pics of my S223 after pulling it out of the Kpup. I stripped the receiver with full intentions to repaint with DE1634 and add some nicely finished NOS laminate wood. After stripping it, I liked the old worn patina that was left. Threw on some untouched beat up Balkan furniture I bought a while back for 16.99/set and I am happy. Still have to add a FSB (it was removed for the Kpup) and add a sling, I also want to pick up some steel Galil mags that can be made to match the patina:

Looks good!

 

What did you use to strip it?

 

Citri-Strip in the spray can. Removes most of the factory finish but still leaves paint in the pores and crevices. (Followed up with a SS bristle brush)

New FSB installed and Galil metal mags came in. Final product below:

If I ever want to make it look like new rifle, it's nice to know it is just a can of DE1634 and swapping the furniture out. But I think the rifle will remain in this configuration for a while and it is shooting great.
