Just picked it up a few hours ago. Numbers don't match of course but to me its a real beauty! I am surprised at the lack of cosmoline. I figured it would have been loaded with it.

Make sure you field strip it and clean it though. It wasn't full of cosmoline, but mine was full of metal shavings.

Good looking rifle. I would like to pick one up. Where did you get it?

Nice purchase. I would pull off the wood and treat it with a few 3-4 of low gloss Tung Oil, using 0000 steel wool after every coat but the last one.
I did this on a Chicom Spiker, and it came out great.

Nice O-Pap.  I was really impressed with the metal finish and quality of my O-Pap.  IMO, it is as high quality as rifles twice the cost.  It was easy to sight in and very accurate.

I was thinking of using BLO. I'm not very good at refinishing wood and want to keep it a dull non glossy finish. Anyone here have any pics with BLO?

Nice Opap there.

I just got my second yesterday, I liked the first so much. This new ones a bit different in that the hand guards are new not surplus and it looks like all the numbered parts are matching.
