Vinegar etch of "15 AK - pics and instructions

Nice, might etch either my 18" siru or the 18" 30oz AK once it gets here. Thanks for the info steely.

From what I have found, yes:) Where steel tends to take a deeper etch, brass and white metal seem to let most of the acid slide off leaving just some tiger-stripey/camo pattern. A little Brasso seems to buff it back quite nicely:) The deepest etch I have ever managed was by accident and the brass just tarnished to a deep golden brown. Basically, slightly deeper in color than just letting it naturally oxidize.
