Looks good Hoo! Just keep it away from the trash area!  chuckles1

Seriously, you should end up with a decent Romy when he's done. Looking forward to seeing the end result!

not happy with the grip , i have two correct ones but they are beat to hell

stripped all of the furniture last night ,gotta remember the right mixture of stain to get that color its suppose to have , i think i layered red mahogany with early american on top of it last time , the G furniture is suppose to be on the  dark side ,the mahogany brought the color out of the laminate

Don’t stain them. Just get garnet and amber shellac flakes (eBay) dissolve, mostly garnet with a bit of amber (about 4:1) in denatured alcohol (warming the solution helps. Then apply multiple thin coats with a light #0000 steel wool rub down between coats.

That pistol grip looks great. Most of the Romanian ones are rough.

No stain, just ~80% garnet, 20% amber shellac, about 4-5 coats. The color deepens as you go.

thats a nice looking rifle you have there , the dong is growing on me , eww that came out wrong , i found the handguard set and i already bought a butt a month ago , almost didnt pull the trigger on the HG set , looked really bad in the pics , but once i got the flaky finish off it was really nice , no separations or major dings

Geez you guys...
Posting pictures of your dongs and butts.....

Seriously though, before the great selloff, I had a really nice Romy that came from Piece of History Firearms -  https://pieceofhistoryfirearms.com/ -
Is was near perfect, but the dong and I couldn't get along. It looked great with Polish hardwood on it.
Broke my heart to sell that one.

I always wanted a BFPU rifle. Something that looks like crap, but runs like a cat over water.

originally bought this kit as a impulse buy when they were dirt cheap , the dong kinda was the reason i never did anything with it which ultimately led to the blunder with half of it finding its way to the dump , when i found the second box with the kit parts in it i was just going to get a rifle out of it , now i have a full Romy G kit again , im going for originality again

My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.

yup great minds think alike , i grabbed a polish set from Lees Mags reasonably , then the cheapo laminated set originally as a finish Guinee Pig to get the color right for the Les Paul sunburst  finish i was going to do , then i stumbled across the g handguard set and decided to do it correct

still going to play with the other stocks to see if i can replicate the Les Paul sunburst

Yeah. You think they'd post a few more.
I would ass-u-me that they'd send some more if you asked, but I don't know for sure.

That Vz 61 certainly makes my sphincter tingle......
