It's an SKS. degrease the metal and use flat black paint. Less work and more protective than cold blue. Most cold blue is little more than wood stain but designed for metal. Protection is minimal at best. As for the Boyd stock, if it's anything like their Garand stocks it's gonna need to be fitted to the action. |

Boiling it somehow changes the rust and it will buff right off. I used one of these wheels in a drill, they also make a hand brush. Blue jean material will work as well. |
