Great job, my friend. I'd love to see another time lapsed video of you restoring a gun that's rusted out. Your humble demeanor and thorough knowledge of the subject are refreshing. Subbed.
If I can find another rusted out gun I'd love to work on it. Hopefully that dirty river has a few more treasures hidden in its murky depths. Thank you so much for watching, for your comments and for the sub.
very good to see I first got an SKS for 3 bens abt 2 yrs ago and removed the rhino-liner looking cammo via spray-on paint stripper which bubbled up the old paint then many of the same other measures you used then finished w/ stain and tung oil rub
To remove imperfections between coats you might try 'brass-wool', Not 'steel-wool' because tiny bits of steel will imbed into the finish and rust. Any tiny bits of brass won't rust/less of an issue. Other that that, 'nice job'! You have inspired others to immulate your process.
1. I love how you have so many chapters and timestamps on this. 2. ***THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THE SINS OF BUBBA!!!!!*** 3. Is it weird I just got done putting on a good finish on my SKS right before I started watching this? 4. What do you plan on doing with the destroyed stock of the original? I saw some ideas about resin which would be cool if you made a clear resin so you can see the original underneath. I however know nothing about resins and such so this may not be possible. I'm just an armchair gunnut boogaloo boy.
Haha, what kind of finish did you put on yours? I dont know much about resins or epoxies much either so I plan on keeping it all original. I think the rough/rotted stock completes the look with the pitted, rough metal.
Thank you, and hello in Germany! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by shaft oil. Whatever oil you use it needs to be a wood finish. Something like boiled linseed oil, tung oil, any oil made for wood. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The razor blade typically works well for me but not this time lol. I also like to minimize the amount of chemicals I use and have. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting.
If you are talking about the cleaning kit in the stock, you can get those on eBay or other various gun parts stores. Just Google sks cleaning kit and something should come up. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@danielsong6335 Oh, yeah. I had those custom made by a stainless steel fabricator in my area. I'm sure you could find a similar fabricator wherever you are.
I already own 2 near perfect condition SKS rifles. I wanted a bubba'd one to play with a few years back, and someone was selling one for $300. Well, this moron gets some shitty advice to go buy a wooden stock for it and now wanted $400, when that $300 bubba price was perfect and exactly what I wanted. It probably took him years to be able to sell that rifle after that. Maybe sold it during COVID I would guess.
Well, you could do what I did and try to go find one for free in a river somewhere haha. Bubba'd or not, they are very robust reliable rifles. I just have a thing for the classic wood. I'll bet the 2 you mentioned are quite the sight and definitely catch some eyes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Do you work for Big-Epoxy or something? This is like the third video of you saying to use epoxy. I'm just playin, but I take it you really like epoxy. Nothing wrong with that, different strokes for different folks. Oil type finishes are what I like so that's what I use. Thanks for watching my vids and for your comments.
@@CRoutdoor No affiliation. I just have not seen somebody making epoxy gun stock yet. And hope to see somebody doing that. I find wood-plus-epoxy work very entertaining to watch. I get it, epoxy is expensive. But entertaining.
Yeah, I typically enjoy the hands on work with some acetone here and there, but this particular paint was a pain. Any thinner you like or just anything from the hardware store?
I speak for all SKS collectors with this message:
Thank you and well done!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Your attention to detail is impressive and you also demonstrate a learned procedure with an explanation for everything you do. This is very well done.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Great job! Love to see things like this restored.

very good to see
I first got an SKS for 3 bens
abt 2 yrs ago and removed the rhino-liner
looking cammo via spray-on paint stripper
which bubbled up the old paint then many
of the same other measures you used
then finished w/ stain and tung oil rub
Nice! Glad you hear you got one back to wood as well. Keep doing good things.
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Dude, man that was totally awesome. I learned a lot. Thank You. 👍👍👍
@@henryng9406 Hey thanks! Glad I could pass some info along. Tha KS for watching and for your comment.
There's something just so appealing about wood stocks/grips
I agree 100%. They just give a gun "hold me, shoot me" type vibe haha.
Thanks for watching for your comment.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to give that a try. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Amazing job, it's nice to see a good old weapon back to shooting after decades
Great job
Excellent job, looks amazing
That paint was more difficult than anticipated, but I'm pleased with how it turned out as well.

@@CRoutdoor a generic gun finish a friend recommended. Idk the type
Hermoso trabajo de restauracion ,un saludo cordial desde Buenos Aires Argentina!!!
Me alegro de que lo hayas disfrutado.
Gracias por mirar y por tu comentario.
I use Orange paint remover for less chance of gouging. Cleans it off quite easily
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up.
Nice work! Good video.
Looks great :)
👍👍👍👍
make more sks videos please
As long as I have the content, I'll continue to make them.
Thanks for watching.
The mosin guy
We miss you lol
@@Real11BangBang Oorah😂
That's fantastic...greetings from Germany can I too this with any shaft oil?!

Why didn't you use stripper? IMO it would have been faster and more effective.
The razor blade typically works well for me but not this time lol. I also like to minimize the amount of chemicals I use and have. Live and learn I guess.

Try paint remover next time. I did a painted stock and I didn’t have to work nearly as hard as you did…
I'll keep that in mind. Do you have a brand/product you like best?
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where did you buy those metal container?... what do you call?
If you are talking about the cleaning kit in the stock, you can get those on eBay or other various gun parts stores. Just Google sks cleaning kit and something should come up.

@@CRoutdoor I mean metal tank that you use for acetone and water bath for gunstock
@@danielsong6335 Oh, yeah. I had those custom made by a stainless steel fabricator in my area. I'm sure you could find a similar fabricator wherever you are.
@CRoutdoor ok thanks but idk what do you call?...thanks anyway...

Epoxyyy 😉😉😏 don't throw out old wooden parts. Use epoxy for remarkable wood restoration and preservation
I imagine how good old 'rotten' wood stock would look when restored with epoxy. Some guys on you tube do miracles with epoxy and old 'rotten' wood

To much work. Paint thinner bro
