Hello all!
I have the sks disassembled and all the small parts soaking in mineral spirits. I plan to use the m.s. to clean all the steel.
My question is regarding the wood. I used the search feature and found a lot of useful tips, and have decided to either try the m.s. or possibly try baking it in the oven @ 175° for until I bleed it all out. I just needed to know about the wooden hand guard on top... Is there any way to remove it, or should I just clean, or bake it without removing?
Lastly, what about the spring in the stock where the trigger assembly goes.... Any way to remove it?
After using the m.s. or baking the wood, I intend to coat with boiled linseed oil.
Thanks for your help!
