Throw bread on me
In my last post in this section of the forum I asked for suggestions on where to obtain an AKMS kit. Since then I stumbled upon a BEAUTIFUL (and inexpensive) Polish AKMS kit, with the original barrel. If this rifle was ever fired then it certainly wasn't fired much. The stock shows genuine wear but it is the only part of the kit that is really worn at all. Even the bolt face has most of the paint left on it...
The kit is finished with, based on my research, black paint over parkerized steel. The kit is in such great shape that I don't want to refinish it. Instead I'd like to finish my Nodak receiver to match. It'll look more correct, plus the stock is worn in such a way that the rifle just looks really good as is.
That being said, I'd like suggestions on how to finish the receiver to match. I'm sure someone has tried to do this before me.
