I recently posted this thread about refinishing my Yugo SKS stock. I really enjoyed doing that, and I'm considering refinishing my K31 stocks (both of them). It seems that the level of opposition some people have to refinishing milsurp rifles is usually commensurate with the perceived historical significance of that rifle, and also its relative rarity.
I understand that it's ultimately my call to make, but I'm soliciting advice because I might not have considered all aspects of the potential refinish. To give some context to the situation, here are some pictures of the first K31 that I'd consider refinishing:
Although the photos are sub-par, you can see the stock is in reasonable condition. There's a lot of dirt/oil/scratches, but most of the scrapes, dents and gouges are quite shallow -- 1/16" or less. I think it would be relatively easy to turn this stock into a real beauty without too much sanding at all.
Ok, I'm 75% in favor of refinishing, and 25% unsure. Any advice?
