Inspired by the Goose's post, I thought I'd show you a Norinco MAK90 "restoration" I just finished.
Here's the BEFORE picture:
And here are some AFTER shots:
The black paint on the furniture was stripped and the thumbhole stock hand-carved to make the pistol grip more comfortable. Then the stock and front handguards were refinished. It came out a nice honey color in contrast to the orange shellac color seen on original stocks.
In addition, I added a "stock option," the upper "swiss cheese" handguard/gas tube combination.
I'm in the process of photographing some other guns in my collection, those that are rare in Massachusetts. Stay tuned.
