just out of curiosity what would happen(since i dont currently own an AK) if you where to put the gun together without the gas tube? would it just blow hot gasses into your face? or anything at all?

i know this is an old video, but did you get this set from apex? if so, where did you get the sling loop?

Nobody over 8 should ever say "Super-Duper" ! Nice job though !

[rufusbum]

Did you shoot Bobby?

[CostabileFS]

Are you saying rape'n like as in rape? like your rape'n happy as if to say the happiest one could possibly be in life is to be a rape'n? Also how many people have you raped on that sleeping bag. Do you have a lot of sex with your sister?

Bad form to re finish an M1 Grand stock with an original military finish. Would lower collector value.

Getting sea sick from the camera movement. Try smoother, slower panning in future videos. Thx.

Thanks! I"m on the 3rd day waiting for the Lindseed oil to dry. It's in the spare bedroom but still remains "Sticky" to touch. Not sure what is wrong ? or if I should take a hot dryer to it? Any suggestions?

@spiritartman Tung Oil "Finish" and Tru Oil are similar varnishes that will seal the wood and build up a finish on top of the wood. Pure tung oil is really meant to penetrate the wood and then you wipe off the excess and let it dry. So it depends what you are finishing and the desired result. Old USGI stocks were originally dipped in tung oil or linseed oil so I refreshed my stocks with pure tung oil. I got a birch replacement stock on my CMP M1 and it is on it's 3rd coat of tung oil.

FYI, Tung Oil "Finish" actually has very little tung oil in it and should be considered a varnish that seals the wood. I've been refinishing some USGI stocks and I've been using 100% pure tung oil (woodworking stores or online). Results so far have been great with a nice satin finish that is correct for the stocks. So just depends what kind of finish you are going for and what is "correct" for that rifle.
