Question Anyone know how to properly age a gun?

I basically want to know how to make a gun look 'used' without damaging it or making it look like scrap metal. I hope to make it look more like an authentic gun by doing so, one that has been used in a number of conflicts and made it's way around. Specifically I am looking to buy an AK-47 and age it so it looks more or less like this one:

It doesn't have that straight from the factory look most airsoft AK's have, but it still leaves on the black paint in all the right places. Also, the pictures I have found of real AK's usually have more glossy wood grips and stocks... would it be a good idea to spray the wood with some kind of gloss or would that ruin the appearance of the rifle? If anyone has any suggestion's for which brand I should go with when buying an AK from a retailer like Toronto Airsoft please give me your opinion... I'm thinking of CYMA; I have an electric 74u from them and it's a pretty nice gun.

If anyone has any aged rifles of your own please post pictures, or if you know someone that is selling one for a reasonable price send me the link and I'll look at it.
