Is this like a 1911 idiot mark or is there room for redemption?
Use AK front sight tool while zeroing new rifle

Take a blueing pin, should be fine.
Liam Russell
It's a tool, if wanted Gucci get an AR
Landon Rodriguez
Turning the safety on and off scratches AKs, scratching and marring them is a non issue and happens when you do nearly anything with them.

>gentle
Are you retarded user?
Justin Brown
>oh noes
>my ak got scratched!!1
...fucking faggot. Did you know that AK’s get a scratch from the safety selector? An AK is a gun designed to be used in combat and work under shitty conditions and here you are, complaining about scratches.
I have a rusty gas tube and muzzle break on my SGL-31. You know why I don’t care to clean it? I actually use my gun a lot and it works very well despite that. Treat guns like the tools they are.
Benjamin Nguyen
Just making sure it’s normal for a sight adjustment tool to scratch up the gun. Calm your autism
Benjamin Torres
RIFLE IS FINE
also it's normal, you gud whiteboi.
Landon Edwards
holy shit you guys are very based and quite possibly redpilled
James Martinez
Use oil next time. Just coat a small amount. It helps
Lucas Carter

Thomas Davis
FAG ALERT! WE GOT A FAG OVER HERE!!! ITS OP!!!
Luis Morgan
Fixed
Austin Lewis
That might be a little too dark, just let it soak in some acetone nail polish remover
Andrew Anderson
Frankly it is significantly more embarrassing for your """main""" gun to be in absolute pristine condition than it is for it to be all scratched and worn to shit.
Ryder Gray
savage
Luke Edwards
On one hand its not a big deal, they're designed to be beat up. On the other hand, its not unreasonable for you to expect a gun with the reputation for durability that the AK has, to have a finish that can handle gentle scrapes without being worn shiny.
Xavier Peterson
big milky titties
Kayden Reed
I always just put a rag between the tool and the sight although those scratches are just normal. No t on the same plane as the idiot mark.
Sebastian Jenkins
>marring the front sight finish
and that matters because?
Luke White
That’s kinda fuckin gay
Zachary Jones
>You know why I don’t care to clean it?
Because youre a lazy faggot?
yeah, treat guns like tools, that means take care of them to get the most use out of them.
Robert Richardson
to be fair, there is a good chance no one will notice. last time I posted my question got it buried by faggots larping about Rhodesia.
Isaiah Bell
Because he's a special snowflake and not an operator's operator.
Jayden Thompson
surface finish wears, deal with it
this one had a quite the fresh surface finish when i got it and this picture is just after two months of lugging it around
David Bailey
fuckin lol
Christopher Kelly
>You know why I don’t care to clean it?
Because you're a dumbfuck. The AK was designed for the Soviet/Russian military. And you know want a soldier does in the military ? He cleans his rifle EVERY TIME he shoot it.

It isn't, you're a dipshit, but most importantly nobody cares that you scratched your ak.
Luke Roberts
the only people i ever see adjusting their sights are guys shooting deer rifles. never seen anybody adjusting iron sights on milsurp or ak’s. i have seen somebody adjusting a1 carry handle sights but those dont require some obscure tool or a bootleg method to adjust. i assume anybody with iron sights just uses kentucky windage based on where they know their rounds impact. optic master race.
Owen Jones
No, it is not like a 1911 idiot mark. The windage drum on my WASR was so tight that it appeared to have been coated in black paint and then beaten into place by gorillas with sledgehammers then glued in place with additional paint. It is impossible to move that drum without whaling on it on any AK I've tried to zero, from Romys to Polish to Yugos to Chinese, to "parts guns." On my WASR I used one of the screw tools, had to put so much force on it I bent the handles, and scratched the sides of the drum and front sight tower anyway.
Non-reflective matte black BBQ grill spray paint fixed it right up once it was zeroed, though. RIFLE IS FINE. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Brandon Morgan
theres plenty of retards who don't zero their guns.
Evan Walker
Doesn’t that paint need to be cured at like 400 degrees?
Evan Thomas
why is it that they all come like that?
i always wonder if my ak ever shot anyone
Henry Cruz
no, it makes it stronger but it doesn't NEED to be baked, its pretty strong as is and can always be touched up in 5 seconds.
Baking it will reduce gloss so if you want less gloss, just buy MATTE from the get go.
Benjamin Watson
Will do. Appreciate the help
