Bluing Removal SKS Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Part 1 of the SKS project involves removing the duraCoat and the Bluing underneath it. Here we used paint stripper for the duracoat and Birchwood Casey Blue and Rust removal.
Stick around for the rest of the project.

Damn.. just when i was about to refinish my chinese SKS from PSA. Good timing
Right on man!
Glad your doing this video, going to do the same in the future. Find another wooden stock to replace that one. Wood looks so much better that cheap plastic. You'll never be happy with plastic. Make it look new again. Thumbs up
thanks man!
Cool project...gotta love the sks
Yes you do
I love an sks, don't ask me why, but they just feel good in my hands, an yep, good on following this vid.
same here, such a great feeling rifle!
Love your SKS content . Let me grab a coffee ! Get those lugs off . I have a post ban para with no lug and it looks awesome . It’s going to look real clean . Ooops it does look real clean.. nice work
Right on man! Thanks for watching it through! I think you will like this series
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel for sure . I’ve been on an SKS kick lately , saving all kinds of sick SKS’s .
Really liked your previous SKS project. I'm very interested to see how this one will turn out.
Thanks! I’m going for a very clean look on this one
I love the SKS and love em beat up as that is how mine is....For you do whatever makes you happy as I like em modern or original as they are just cool....The only ones I say to leave alone are the ones with all matching serial numbers and in good original condition....Good stuff....
Im hoping to acquire my friends all matching Vietnam battle rifle to keep that one as it is. Has the trench art too !
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel Mine is an all matching 5966 Yugo model with some trench art too...Love em all...Keep em for the family and treasure em....
That bayonet is a useful tool on that weapon
If one were so inclined
Here some love 😃
Wood stock that rifle! Years ago I tried the whole poly-stock nonsense learned fast it looks good in wood!
problem is that I find the factory wood to be very uncomfortable. Tapco stopped making their Timbersmith wood stocks and Boyds is a bit pricey. so for now its gonna have to be a polymer stock.
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel makes sense
For future reference; toilet cleaner works great for bluing removal. Apply with a rubber or sponge brush and, after a couple of minutes, wipe off and rinse.
Great tip! ill have to try that some time !
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel please don't, toilet cleaners have vastly different ingredients for different brands. Use 50/50 hydrochloric acid and distilled water for blueing removal but make sure you rinse and fully remove all acid after you're done or it will rust to shit in no time .
Is there a way to keep the unoxidized steel look I'm about to start restoring a neglected mini14 and kind of like the idea
I love that stock, if you want to part with it let me know thanks
Is safe to shot after that ? I have old CZ 38 from WW-2 and i want to remove bluing on barrel, but i afraid is that affected the barrel when comes to bullet fiering :(
If its your only pistol, dont do it.
What pad are you using for the work bench? Rubber?
its just some material that i found in a dumpster at work. I believe they use it on the floor and steps of private aircraft.
Don't cut the lugs off, you can get another action online an use that. Maybe one day you mite want to turn it back in to its original state with the wood stock, its just to easy to get another receiver with a barrel an bubba that. Their only going up in value if left all original, right now in original configuration they sell for 500, an those are beat up Vietnam era rifles, in its stock self even reblued, its still worth a chunk of change, DON'T BUBBA IT.
Thats more work than i want to do for this project. Have faith in my bubba skills lol
@@ZRUSOutdoorsChannel its not a lack of skills, its defacing a quality rifle when there's other options around, that's all.
@@williammccaslin8527 yeah I get the reason that some believe a C&R firearm shouldn’t be modified. For me, I like the design and function of the SKS, but in a slightly more comfortable form. All of my firearms do work, I don’t own anything that is only meant to be admired, shot a couple rounds then put away. But I get why others would.
Boyds stock
I’m gonna have to save for a while lol they are a bit expensive in the configuration that I want, but that is the end goal.
I have a problem saying Apple tater also. Aplekater....
hahah i have no idea why that word wouldnt come to me at that moment haha
I can’t say Cutlery .. like at all .
turn bubba loose 😜
This SKS gonna learn today!
No offense, but cold blues really don't work for a complete finish as it is just a thin layer of copper ferric acid that has poor rust resistance and can actually promote rust on the steel. A better, but more time consuming process is real slow rust bluing as it is the most durable bluing finish that has superior results.
I can tell that this bluing is shallow, but as of yet, i have no issues with it of the 3-4 times that i have had it out shooting. But i will report back if need be.
