Been experimenting with Shellac.

I better slow down or everything I own made of wood will be shellac'd and my fingers will be permanently stained.

Great work.. Shellac will scratch and chip so a protective different final coat is what I do... I look forward to seeing your shellacked home..

Very nice. The original blonde wood color mine came with was pretty awful and needed retreating to look pleasing. These look very nice!

You courageous man!
I really dislike using shellac, even more so removing it.

Those do look beautiful.

Re-done in amber shellac as original...

Any time you want to get rid of that blonde wood let me know. The red set is red because it came with that God Awful black stain Zastava, who REALLY doesnt care, puts on all the new M92's and M85's. . Never did get it all out despite hours of soaking in Acetone and sanding. The red is just a cover.

Never replaced it, only retreated it. The wood went with the pistol when I sold it to a guy in Washington.

Alcohol will remove shellac in a heartbeat. Alcohol is the solvent shellac is dissolved in when you apply it.
Remember, when using shellac/alcohol, alcohol can get into your system through the skin .

That's why I pre load my system with alcohol.

Your. Shoulder controls recoil. Not your hand.

You don't hold on to the forend. It's a one handed gun . Dual wield if you own 2.

Not really, but sure.

Serious answer for me is that I always wear a leather glove on my left hand when AK gastube is in the equation.

Too many burnt fingers and web of thumb.
