I just slightly polished a good bit of the surface rust on the bolt carrier and bolt. I am not going to touch any other part of the rifle. Ran a bore snake through the barrel and almost got blinded when I shined a light up the chamber and looked down the shiney barrel, lol.
The tip of the barrel, the crown, has some pitting all around it so I polished that slightly as well and cleaned and oiled the barrel threads.
Kind of obvious a previous owner had fired some corrosive ammo through it and put it up wet but it's cleaned up well (the bolt and carrier) and is still tip top. The bore is still practically brand new so at least they swabbed the barrel.
I ordered 2 Chinese "Flatback" AK mags to go with the rifle.
Is the folder stock supposed to fold up and over the top as well?
