Btw, I’m “thinking on” building another “junk-box AK clone” from a “receiver flat”, with a 16.5” barrel & folding stock, as a “truck gun”.
IF/WHEN I build it, it will be painted with APPLIANCE PAINT & in “semi-gloss” black. = Appliance paint or auto exhaust paint is the TOUGHEST finish that I’ve yet found for firearms, as after either paint cures fully it’s difficult to get off with sandpaper.
