My first SKS refinishing job


Trekbike

Recommended Posts

Well I picked up my first SKS about a month ago. It's a good shooter but I wanted to make it look better, so I refinished it. I reblued the metal, cleaned up the stock, sanded, and put 3 coats of tung oil on. It looks so much better IMO for a 43 year old rifle. I think it's a keeper.

Below are some before and after photos.

I don't care what everyone else says, it looks nice.

How does it shoot?

The bore is clean and rifling is in really good shape. I've only had a chance to put around 60 rounds through it so far but have been impressed to this point.

The biggest thing that holds back the accuracy on these IMO is the crappy sights. I've heard the Tech Sights for these do wonders.
