Metal looks a bit too dark, push it a little lighter, but not too much.
I say you go for two tones instead of one.
I shall.
I like the new one better but the metal is a bit dark,
EDIT:
Also the fire sound is a bit bland. It doesn't sound very powerful, do you think you could give the sound more oomph? That's my main dislike about the SKS, everything else I like.
A lot of the firing sounds are kind of bland. I guess I just used the wrong samples to mix them together.
[Edit]
For some discussion:
Classic or modern SKS?

Imo, a modernized SKS with plastic parts, picatinny rails, collapsing stock and other stuff is just ugly. It's lighter and has more capacity, but it's still ugly.
