If you take the finish off, you can put water on the wood and heat with a heatgun or hairdryer, it pulls the dents in the wood out, not completely of course but it helps
This looks.... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I have heard that instead of using an oven, you can just give your handguard and stock an acetone bath. You did a great job. I will hopefully be buying this version sometime soon.
Thanks for the video. I went with a golden pecan stain on my opap furniture and I am very happy with it. Darkened the would several shades with no hint of red. Looks great !
I recently got an O-PAP from the batch they had at FirearmsForSale.com, and they mentioned "cannot guarantee a crest" and didn't know what that meant. Mine didn't come with a crest, but now I know what they were talking about.
Hello, brother thank you do much for all the help you've been giving me. I'm a proud owner of an zastava o PAP. Next step is the wood, and I'm not sure if I want this same finish you used or a "red cherry" finish I saw on another vid. Like always I have questions, why did you shoose this finish? Also if I happen to change my mind and want to change the color or finish can I? Or I'm stuck with that first decision? Again thank you so much brother. Ohh dude are you rich cause you buy a new gun like every 3 days lol...... Ps. My first AK.
I liked this finish as it was close to the original wood color as possible... If you don't like it, just a good sanding and you can start over. thanks for watching! congrats on the new gun!
Im trying to find a wood handguard set in a really filthy worn damaged condition, in england.....impossible so far!!, does anyone out there have really rough battered guards, an r.p.k dogleg butt, , its for my milled reciever de ac 1960s russian ak, id like to make it look like a 1990s balkans era ..
you could always try having a local woodworker make some up for you? a rough cut handguard set which you can sand down and stain shouldn't set you back to much I would think.
Dude, you owe somebody a new stove. This procedure should not be performed inside the home and particularly inside a stove used to prepare food for human consumption. The fumes from the cosmoline is toxic and probably contaminated the stove. It would be best to use an old toaster oven in a ventilated garage, spray paint the toaster oven orange or yellow, and label it "NOT TO BE USED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION".
The dings are cool. Battle scars
I also have a O PAP , good weapon.

Looks great, good job on the furniture.
I prefer the original finish. It gives character to the rifle.

Great video. I just got one of these also - with the crest! Will be using some of your techniques on my stocks.
That gears of wars trailor was sweet.
Did you happen to weight the wood pieces while they were removed from the gun to know the weight of the furniture?

Just got the same rifle. I've never been much of an ak guy, so any info on this is welcome. Do you have a good strip down video?
Thanks for watching! I have a video of the disassembly here: ruclips.net/video/OmXhpRHLY8o/видео.html
Nice video. You shouldn't have a problem with yer o-pap at the range.. Nice heavy build and seem to be one of the better paps.
