sks finish.. what is it?!

[ghostntheshell]

Hey folks. I know some of the refurb mosins have shellac for a finish...

What finish is used on the sks's?
Seems durable.

Russian SKS's are shellac'd too I believe

Its a concoction made from the nervous brow sweat of capitalistic pigs and left over fascist tears that were collected during the second world war. I'm not sure what the Chinese used as there were only so many tears.......that's why the Russian sks is better, it's all in the varnish.

I have it on good authority that the Chinese Sks's didn't use human tears; rather they used the much rarer Panda tears! Doesn't do SQUAT for accuracy, but interesting non the less.
Cheers!!
