Collecting and Shooting the SKS Rifle

I save the solvent I soaked all of the

parts in and reuse it until it is a dark

amber color and then I dispose of it.

Once I am done cleaning the metal of

the rifle, I turn to cleaning the wood.

This SKS has an oil based finish, as

some of them do, so I use WATCO

Rejuvenating Oil to bring the luster

back to the wood.

Using a clean rag with a little Oil, I rub

down the stock and handguard. Then I

wipe it down with a dry rag.

If your SKS rifle has a lacquer style

finish, do not use the oil. I recommend

just using a standard furniture polish to

clean and restore the finish.
