I recently purchased a WASR10 as an inexpensive plinker and realize that with it being a Romanian WASR10 that quality will lack in areas.

I recently finished refinishing the furniture and now am wondering about the frame, reciever, barrel, etc.

Some have said the gun is parkerized and it looks like it may be, however there are some scratches in the finish that show, and while they may not rust, I would like to improve the appearance of the finish.

So my question is, what would yall suggest I use (if anything) on the reciever, frame, barrel etc?

Thanks

Touch-up blue will work if you follow the directions.

It is NOT parkerized. It is bead-blasted blued steel.

A good magnesium parkerize looks better than the stock Romy finish. I had TNW redo my AES-10B, which came with a crap finish. I redid the wood with tung oil. BSW
