Unfrefurbish an SKS?

I tried a few different things on mine with no luck, I believe that’s the oarkerizing you guys are talking about. Paint stripper, 1850, acetone, nothing will touch it.

Be forewarned, what some people think is bbq paint isn’t actually. I have one that looks like it’s bbq paint but it’s more of a baked on finish or parkerizing, it’s hard and tough. Solvents won’t strip it off, I’ve seen the peeling flaking bbq paint before and mine is not it.

If I was going to strip mine it would need to be media blasted to get it down to bare metal.

Exactly. That ain't paint.
 
I join the chorus of others who say don't try to strip that so called "barbeque paint". Like the others pointed out it's not paint at all. It's a chemical/thermal coating with the composition the Russians only know about. I have a 2014 Molot Tula 1953 which I bought in the beginning of 2017 with that coating on. It already has 3,200 shots through and the coating is in essence intact. Just one or two small scratches. The coating is surprisingly VERY resistant to wear and elements.
