Hello to all AK diehards! I was wondering how to restore a magazine.What would you use to take scratches and marks off? Is there a product that can be used to this?
Thanks,Chris

Steel wool and black paint? That's what I use to refinish any AK mag that needs it.

AK mags don't scratch, they build character..

Steel wool like #0000 will make them better then I used some 3m pads to get them to shine.

What kind of 3m pads do you use?

It is the scouring pads like the green one you use when washing dishes they have alot of grades. The one I use is dark red.

Ok,I went out and got some "0000" steel wool today. It cleaned the mags up great! One of them was badly scratched up,but after a polished it for awhile,the scratches began to disappear! I haven't used a 3m pad on it yet-but I'm planning to. Thanks for your help fellow AK enthusiasts!
