J&G Sales, have chinese sks

Can you give us a clue as to what kind of steamer? Clothes steamer or something else? Where does one obtain one of these steamers? They look like they do a great job but I don't know what kind of steamer to get or where to get one.

Here it is all clean. I did nothing to the stock but just steam the crap out of it with a steamer




For the gas piston. I cut off a small batch of thick cloth and jammed it in there using the piston. Removed all the cosmo out of the hole like a playdough toy in just one try.

I use a Tobi Garment Steamer. Melts the cosmo right off. I think we got it at Walmart.
Just don't tell my wife.

I used heat gun to clean metal . Used it a bit on wood where cosmo was built up on insides , will steam the rest with old iron or shark floor cleaner from Costco . The bores look to be very bright with decent grooves .

Ya!

Took mine apart just now (yeah, I decided to keep it). All numbers match, the numbers on the gas tube and piston are electropenciled (still match though). Do they even stamp the numbers there?

It came full of this liquid kind of cosmo (I'm more used to the caked kind). So far it's cleaning off the metal parts fairly easily. The metal parts are in a great condition, aside from the bluing, which is fairly worn.

Now, about those steamers... What are they? That's as far as I'm willing to go on the stock.

OK here is my SKS from J&G via Scobun. After doing a complete cleaning job of the metal parts I did a light sanding of the stock starting with sandpaper followed by 0000 steel wool then applied a nice coat of carnauba wax. Stock does have some dents and dings but those are just part of the beauty of these rifles.

Finished cleaning the metal. There was more cosmo than it appeared... much more. On the upside, the metal has no pitting or rust whatsoever, and isn't even worn (other than the bluing). The bore is mirror-bright.

Next step - steaming the stock. That should take care of some of the dings, right?

Sounds nice, pic when you gettem! I'm wondering what going to showup Wed I ordered a matching hand select. Jokingly I asked them for less cosmoline

Just got thier email about the Yugo Toks being instock.

Just finished cleaning her up. Not as much cosmo as I expected so a quick mineral spirit bath cleaned up most metal parts without too much hassle. The matching number list is as follows; receiver, bolt carrier, bolt, trigger assembly, receiver cover and stock.

Here's one of the cleaned rifle. It's the one on the bottom, the one on top is my Romy.

I called J&G today after lunch just to check and they have a couple left. They had a couple regular grade, one hand pick and one numbers matching.

I asked the nice lady how the hand select looked and she went and got it, she said metal was nice, about 80% bluing left, no visible rust at all, dark wood, no cracks but some dings and dents, then she said it was probably one of the better ones she has seen..... ... I said I will take it.

We will see how well her discription is in a week or so.
