Mongo Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I have always wondered how they painted the Swedish K guns with the cheek cushion on the gun? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 My guess would be a really good masking tape or cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPinFL Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgeport28A1 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 So did the Swedes rubber cement the stock cover at the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Mongo? when you cut it was there underlying cement or binder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPinFL Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 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!

zavrit Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 My stock does not have the rubber cover. Any ideas on how to come up with something that looks close to the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewisfan Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry for the double-post! Nah. I sold this one with all extras shown. Nice package. Had a factory pre-sample years ago. Should've kept that one too. Oh well. Glad that I've had a chance to play with some VERY nice and rare guns over the years. Wish that I could've kept more of them!

Wish that I could've kept more of them! Yeah, I wish I'd kept EVERY machine gun I've ever owned. Except the 1950 Madsen, never liked that gun. Your picture is virtually identical to the Swedish Kmpackage I sold a dew years ago, mags, pouches, brass catcher, night sights, spare bolt. Too soon old, too late smart.
