What AK Finish looks Better?

[Bagger]

Im going to have my Sar1 AK refinished they are offering Parkerize or Blueing for the AK Blueing is 80.00 more.

Do you guys have any pics of a Blued AK.

Thanks

[Blue]

I really really really want to have mine plated so its all shiny like chrome or gold or something. I haven't done it because I can't afford to spend a ton of money on it, but I'd love to look like a total dick at the range with it

I'd get it parked, but a wore out blue finish would look really cool.

So whats your input on Blued AKs

Personally I think I would choose to park.

Someone had done a complete park job at, or a little before FEDUPWBS's build party. It was NICE. I want to have one of mine parked at the next one(hint,hint fedup).

Go parked it does really look nice, and I also feel more authentic.

We will be having a Park and Blueing party in the spring! So get your builds done. The price is estimated to be $100 first gun and $50 ea after that. NO MORE THAN 15 people will be invited! DB2 is on the list.
BTW it totally matters what country the gun is from!

Park, then Duracoat.

I Parked mine, then GunKoted it Satin black.

Parkerize

[PanzerAce]

got the smith that did mine to park it. the only flaw in the finish even after about 1.5k rounds is the arc that the safety lever traces on the receiver.

AK finish

First determine the original finish---Yugo's are blued, many others are parked, some are parked and painted.
If it is not a Yugo, which should be blued to remain original, I prefer parkerizing which will protect the metal from rust, then painted.
Have used DuraCoat with good results.

I like Park & Paint

If you are building to personal taste, I'm thinking Park with a Duracoat would give you lots of color/finish options and very good durability...
