Here's mine. Refinished the stock, polished bolt, and changed out that ugly muzzle brake. "Pings" like an M-14 when I let the bolt slam closed. What else do I need? Thinking of a semi gloss black finish.

I just refinished my PSL and I was thinking about going darker. Here's a link. What stain did you use? Some nice close-ups out in some daylight to get rid of the flash glare would be greatly appreciated. Good job on your PSL and my vote is to go-for-it on the semi-gloss finish. I'll be looking forward to see how that comes out as well. |

Here's a couple of quick pictures. I took some more, but its hard to get the true color to show in the pictures. The close up of the handguard is what it looks like in person. Here's what I did: 1. remove finish with Jasco paint remover from Lowes 2. Sand with 220 paper or whatever you have 3. For the stain you can use either "Fiebing's leather Dye" (dark brown) or Chestnut Ridge military stock stain. Both seem to give the very same reddish dark color. May even be the same stuff, who knows. 4. After the stain dries I used Birchwood and Casey tru-oil applied with my fingers. gloves on of course. I put it on thick. about 2 coats. 5. Last I took some of the gloss down with Birchwood and Casey stock sheen and conditioner. Whole process can be done in one day. Thanks for the interest. "Edit for flash hider" flash hider is a USA made from a guy on gunbroker. Sells for $40.00. Just type ak flash in the search on gunbroker and it's the one for $40 also think the guy has an add here on the EE, but it's the same price. |

I like that you still get some highlights in the wood. I wonder what it might look like if you really went at some of the areas with wool while still in the dying process to bring out some more of the lighter areas? Almost like a sunburst on a Gibson guitar. I think I might be one of the only ones that genuinely likes the original blonde wood though. Not enough light colored rifles out there. 
Of course being the hypocrite that I am, I went with the poly. Not real sure I'm 100% satisfied with that decision, but I made it... and I'll work on it a little more before I take it off.

Here are some semi-decent pics of mine:
No mods yet. When I get the time/funds I will put a polymer stock set on and upgrade the optics (even though I love the one it comes with. I'd just rather have a battery-lit one rather than the expired tritium). First mod will be the trigger though. This thing has a rougher trigger than any of my mosins. And that's saying alot! |

I used the RIT dye method posted by member Hoohaa here. I tweaked the color formula a little and played with the alcohol ratio. I'm very happy with the result. |

Thank you. What did I do wrong? I made a photobucket account so I could post it. Did I forget to push something?

you put entirely too much text. to the left of your pictures in photobucket, there will be a few different lines of code. Just click on the one that begins with [ img ] and paste it here.

Looks like a Saiga folding stock set from Ace and black painted wood hand guards.
