Tarmac works for me and freshly planed wood and gun oil are two of my favourites, however there was this PA many years ago,no idea what the perfume she wore was but it certainly worked for me.....
My old man was a HGV mechanic and would come home from work smelling of oil and diesel, sometimes if I catch a whiff of diesel it takes me back.

The smell of a hot, oily two stroke is another one I like.....

I had a tuned RD500LC and used a Morris's MLR2 oil and Silkolene ProBoost premix......a mate of mine loved following me as he said it smelt like dope!.

I stopped going to watch the motorcycle GP when they switched from two strokes to four strokes, there was something special about those multi cylinder two stroke screamers!, especially the Lucky Strike Suzukis and Marlboro Yams.

I remember chasing a 500CCM dope burner once, that was an impressive blend of noise, smell and flames. I was on a Maico.

My current set up is definitely two small I have spent several days out there now trying to make room it is just not going to work.
My son and I spent part of to day measuring up and debating were the new shed/shop should go.
Obviously when things get back to normal if they ever do.

I have a question:
The barrel on the AIA 7.62x39 is tapered. The muzzle part of the rifle is threaded the thread is a fine taper thread running along probably 2 inches of the barrel. It's normally fitted with a screw-on front sight.
Anyway, that's enough of that my question is if you were crowning the barrel would you remove the barrel from the action or machine it with the action attached. Obviously using a spider.

why remove the action if you don't need to?
