Ok ok I realize there ae a ton of post on this where touching up this or that with one or another product is mentioned. I'm not looking to touch up, but to more or less refinish my "pig popper" SKS.
I don't have the facilities nor the room to do powder coating nor do I want to spend that sort of money to haul it all in pieces to some shop to have it done, IF they would take it in the first place.
The insides are in grat condition, but the outside needs to be redone.
Would one of you more experienced folks recommend which one of the cold blueing products you have used that would hold up fairly well.
This rifle is a haul out in whatever weather, drag through whatever brush or muddy bottom, simply to go after feral hogs. Nothing more nothing less. It's just a beater in the full definition of the term. Thing is it shoots so darned well with just about any soft point ammo I really don't want to scrap it simply due to it rusting to pieces. Right now it only has very minor surface rust mainly from the humidity of sitting out in the barn. Like I said, it is just one of those beater rifles.
Worst case I will just get out the Krylon and go for it, but would rather reblue it instead.
Thanks
