Bought a GP WASR 10/63 at a gun show last weekend. Came with a Tapco 30 rd double stack mag.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2z7h5l3.jpg I really like the way the color came out. Any thoughts? It has a dirty look to it still, which doesn't bother me, perhaps I'll add a bit more shine to it. |

I really like that dirty used look especially knowing how clean it really is  What are you using to finish it off? I'd go tung oil (true tung oil that is), BLO or amber shelac
