Metal refinishing options - 09/25/20
I have a Sako AV that at one time was probably a real looker. However when I bought it the walnut stock had been replaced with a cheap Ramline stock. I was searching for a takeoff AV stock I could replace it with but after a few years gave up on that.
I ended up finding a like new McMillan in flat black I couldn't resist for the price. I don't have the immediate need to do so now but since this has now migrated more towards being a workhorse rifle with the McMillan I was wondering what my options are for metal refinishing. I know cerakote is currently the most popular but I seem to remember reading about some other chemical processes in this forum but I can't remember what it was. Shoulda hit that bookmark. I know parkerizing is an option but it wasn't that it was some sort of finish that like one guy was famous for. Sorry for the vagueness.
