[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4148545, member: 13337"] Earlier today I posted about a friend who tricked out a Chinese SKS,,, He filled in all the dents, dings and scratches on the stock,,, And gave it a deep crimson guitar body finish. He powder coated (cera-coated maybe) ll of the stock hardware a deep black,,, Had the bayonet mount professionally machined off[SIZE=2] (improving the accuracy)[/SIZE],,, And had the rest of the rifle hot blued. It sounds a bit strange to think of but I tell you folks,,, It turned an ordinary functional mil-surp,,, Into an exceptionally lovely rifle. Since I posted that I've been thinking it would be fun to try that,,, Several years ago I purchased a Polish WZ-48 single-shot .22 LR trainer. I had it in mind to pair it up with a Polish Nagant,,, Both guns mounted on a custom wall mount,,, But I never got that "Round-2-It". The rifle is an excellent shooter but has mismatched serial numbers,,, The bolt serial # and the rifle serial # do not match,,, I've been told this kills any collectability. The bluing of the rifle is damn near flawless,,, And as far as it's performance aspect,,, I shoot 2.5" groups at 50 yards,,, With 72 year old eyes,,, And iron sights. The stock does not have any cracks or chips on it at all,,, But does has plenty of dings and scratches. I was thinking about filling in the dings to make the stock as smooth as possible,,, Since Poland's national colors are red and white,,, Finish the stock in a deep guitar-like red,,, And cera-coat the hardware white. Like so many other projects at my age,,, This one might never even get off the ground,,, But it's in my head now so I thought I would at least post the idea. So whaddaya think? Cool Project or Blasphemy? Aarond Idle hands may truly be the Devil's Workshop. . [/QUOTE]
