[QUOTE="bsmith918, post: 2395949, member: 13901"] Generally with AK's, they use a polyeurethane. I have used BLO, RLO, and tung oil with good results too. If you have any of those laying around, I would just use it. You can mix the BLO with mineral spirits to thin it out and get it to absorb a little quicker. I would probably use BLO and keep putting on coats until I got the desired look and it quit absorbing. The poly would be a lot quicker and you could always knock the shiny finish down if it was too shiny for you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
