Now, before anybody goes off the deep end, hear me out. Ordinarily, I don't like the idea of refinishing milsurps at all. However, I picked up one of the AIM "shooter special" Yugo M48s yesterday with the intention of possibly using it as a "trunk" gun. You know, unobtrusive, powerful, and most importantly, inexpensive if something happens to it.
This rifle is in pretty good shape overall. Decent exterior finish and wood, non-matching numbers and a dark bore with a little pitting. Really nothing special. Really wish I would have snatched up one of the excellent condition one's they had several months ago.
Anyway, I want it to have a durable, relatively inexpensive finish to suit it's intended purpose. Also, it would give me some experience with Dura Coat before trying it on the AK's I hope to build this winter. Any other opinions on a suitable finish would be appreciated.
