Swedish K - So how does the gun get painted.................


Recommended Posts

Ah, you are both wrong! I asked Andrewski about this specifically as he was building me a gun with a complete, 100% overhaul. He removes it! I asked him how, and all he did was laugh and say with a very big hammer. No other details.

You might notice the seam on the rubber stock cover. I use a razor knife and carefully follow the seam, the cover comes right off. rubber cement back on after painting.

Also remove all the trigger etc pins, they should not be painted. rivets should be painted.  BP

My mistake, BPinFL, was there any adhesive or glue under the cover when you cut it?

There was adhesive in the seam where I cut it apart. The cushion would rotate freely on the stock before I cut it.  I have other stocks on which the cushion does not rotate freely. Maybe excess adhesive? This is on a Wilson/port said build, wouldn't do this to an original K!

That's hilarious and sounds just like what John would say!

There is no seam originally.  Your's had been cut off previously, unfortunately.
