Here are the parts after refinishing. I think they turned out pretty nice. I coated them in oil and haven't had time to polish them since last Friday. I'm hoping I can buff some of the shine down to get a better match for the rest of the rifle which has a more blue tone to it. A acmech enjoyed your video on cold bluing and learned some things, and thanks for the tip on the oil.

Man, they turned out beautiful!

^Thanks, I'm refurbing a Norinco I recently traded into. I fit a Bulgarian stock on it but unfortunately the upper handguard broke so I'm waiting on the new one to arrive. Once I get the wood refinished and everything put back together I'll post a before and after pic.

The before and after pics. I ended up using the Birchwood Perma blue on the stock hardware, topcover and gastube. I did a little distressing on the new cold blue to get somewhat of a match but I think it turned out decent.
