I posted this on another forum and got no replies. Hope someone here can give me the right advice...
I'll get you started in the laughter department, I'm talking about an SKS. It is Russian though, from the Tula works if I'm not mistaken, and I've fired about 50 rounds through it. It was new, unfired when I got it. Problem is that the baked-on enamel is chipping in places, as is that funky gel-like finish on the wood stock. Would it detract from the collector value of this piece if I reparked it and refinished the stock...assuming a perfect job? The importer's name is barely etched on the surface, it might disappear...
Thanks in advance
