Fix my gun Wood stock repair? (Sks)
Hey,
My all matching Sks came with a few dings and scratches. Was wondering what is the method and way to clean it up? Thinking maybe a sand down without messing with the Tula star and numbers.
So far, ive researched and come up with:
Slight damp Cloth and clothes iron for deep holes/cuts (?!?!)
Light sand to smoothen and make a smooth feel
Linseed and or other oil to give it that laminate feel and protection.
Thank you, happy easter

I sanded mine, and was careful to not ruin any stampings on the stock. It turned out great, but my SKS wasn't numbers matching so I wasn't concerned about collectibility.
Not that hard to make it look great though. I sanded mine down and wood oiled it, then clear coated it, turned out fantastic.
