I got my SKS's back from Salbo Arms today. He refinished the stocks in walnut, parkerized the metal and finished it up with a flat black gunkote. The first rifle out of the case looked great. The finish was even, you could still read the markings, and the sight numbers had been repainted. I lost the night sights, but they didnt work anyway. The stock had all the dings, dents, and scratches removed or repaired. It is smooth with an even finish and feels so much better than before.
The second one, the metal was also great. The finish on the stock was different, I dont know if it was grease, the grain, or something the person refinsihing the stock meant, or didn't mean to do. But I like it a lot. I attached a picture of it, I hope.
All in all I like them. I still have 2 (I bought another one, and did a much better job this time thanks to you all) in original configuration. I am now on hold until after Christmas, but come January I will be patiently on the prowl for my next mil surplus rifle.
