Most of the Romainian .22 Trainer was probably sanded (again) with the same 220 grit. Not absolutely certain, but I might have used some 120 grit on some areas just behind the receiver. Coarser grit does allow better absorption.
Let's skip the reason for a second sanding because this will distract some people and confuse any chat.
*Note: I haven't learned the photo upload procedures.
The same Red Walnut (Minwax) oil-based stain was used this second time.
Strange that overall, the gun now has much less of the original reddish tint, seen during the First staining with Red Walnut, but those dark, "smoky-looking areas" just behind the receiver are something never seen on my three imported AKMs, which were similarly-sanded and stained with Red Walnut.
