Willy I became a master of polishing aluminum while building my motorcycle. It's very simple to do. Go to Home depot and by the cotton polishing wheel kit for 10 dollars then stop into wallmart and buy you some mothers metal polish. Sand your aluminum material down with 1000 grit all strokes in the same direction. Then put cotton wheel on a high speed drill wet wheel with polish and let her rip!!!! That's it. Comes out like a mirror.

I'm thinking about doing something with the stock. It has a lot of weight forward and its narrow on the rear, so I might foam the rear of the stock then shape it with a sure-form and rough sandpaper then glass over it to add a little shape to the *** end of the gun and a little weight. And it will also look a little different then the rest of 600,000 dragunov ATI stock conversions.

I learned my aluminum polishing skilz in much the same way. My father-in-law, brother-in-law and I used to buy wrecked motorcycles dirt cheap, strip them down to the frame, and then rebuild them for sale. I always found that J ewelers rouge (red rouge) on a cotton wheel worked the best for me. No sanding needed... just press the rouge bar lightly against the cotton wheel while it's spinning to apply. Even though it's usually used for gold, silver and other soft, precious metals it also produces a mirror shine on aluminum with very little pressure and almost no work. Makes aluminum look like chrome.
