Of course I threw it down the driveway, I also used a screw driver to scratch it, and I hit the screw driver with a hammer to put some dings in it, then I had to bend it back out so the follower would move freely. I used some sand paper, some different steel wool. I ran it through the dishwasher with high heat and lots of dish soap. I tried soaking it in salt water and while that did create a lot of rust, once I wiped the mag off, it didn't really do much to change the look. I've seen a lot of faux patina before, and my biggest complaint would be that they tend to look very uniform. So I just threw whatever I could think of at it. Some worked better than others, but at the end of the day, I figure there's really no right or wrong. Even the steps that weren't very effective did contribute to the over all look. -J |

My '72 10/63; Sorry for the crappy pic, came with 5 mags and I haven't touched a thing with it yet. Picked up the PA-63 with a spare mag and 100rds the same day. New spings on the way for it.

Just bought a wire folder for the 10/63 above from a forum member, waiting for its arrival. I noticed on the thread a few of the rifles with folders have a recoil pad. Where did you get that?

I did the mag myself, the gun I just cleaned, it was filthy. View Quote That's a good looking WASR. I don't say that very often. |

I bought the actual wood through ironwood designs and I utilized several coats of watco danish oil and also final coat of tung oil.

I usually use high-temp engine paint, but went with appliance epoxy this time at the suggestion of another member here, turned out pretty nice, a little on the glossy side for me, but it's the wife's rifle and she's really happy with it, just got done re-finishing some laminate furniture and installed it this morning, she likes the wood better than the black furniture, so it may stay this way, but i'm working on a custom set of painted furniture now so we'll see how it goes. |

I bought the correct lower bulged handguard, but I think I need to sand them all down, and apply some red stain, and then laquer. Also, I need to cut off the welded thread protector and put a slant comp on it. I'd rather have a flash hider though, did the AKM ever use the RPK style flash hider?
