Black Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy baked in your oven. The stuff looks great and is tough as nails.

"boot licker" was easier to type than "person with an irrational brand loyalty". I'm sorry that your favorite brand has an inferior finish and I'm sorry people are finding out about it the hard way. And I'm sorry that the OP was another victim but I'm relieved that his self deprecating delivery didnt threaten you like my smug idiocy.

See, that's why people dog pile you

You don't know anything about my favorite brands or why, or how many years I've been in the game and what I do or don't think about Arsenals. What I do know is that you are quick to say stupid things but act as though you speak from a position of knowledge, and then get pissy when people call you out on it. Fact is a ton of people know a shit ton more than you but you come here acting like you're the expert

You also say things like you "ruined" your expensive arsenal because you screwed up the paint. Seriously? Again it shows you don't know jack about AKs because you didn't ruin anything. The rifle still runs fine, but it's clear that you value what something looks like more than what it does

Lots of people have made mistakes with their Arsenals, including me. The key difference is some guys just feel the need to cry like babies on the Internet when something doesn't go the way they arrogantly think it should. The rest of us deal with it and move on. Calling people bootlickers is shallow and lame

mistake post

What about the oven did you get rid of the smell ?

I think i post most of my fuck-ups because....hell they are #1 funny #2 teaching moments . A 5 month old brand new Z06 ,i put it up in the garage on a mid-rise lift and pulled all 4 wheels to clean and wax..................hit the button to open the garage door................the linkage left a gouge 4 inches long......the fiberglass is white under a black corvette.

Since this is going to get locked soon anyway, I'll say this as a person who hasn't owned an Arsenal since 2010, and builds all of my own AKs. Your reactions were received as they were not only due to smugness, but due to straight up over the top, histrionic, drama queen behavior. Saying you're going to email Arsenal about how you're worried that "As of now, I do NOT feel it is safe to fire this gun for fear that the BCG will leave the rail and exit the receiver into my face"  (LINK) due to a small ding in the metal that you needed macro photos to show us, proves that.

Does the finish on Arsenals suck? Yes, they sure do given what's available today. Are they going to change the finish they've been using probably since the start of the AKK-74 line to appease your delicate sensibilities? Doubtful.

Spot on
