Thanks brother, you've been an inspiration since I joined this sight, and have helped me immensely along the way, much appreciated.
Looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

I thought I'd wrap up this thread with some pics of the barreled action in the stock.
I know someone else that has a @Bc'z-painted stock and he has been telling me how difficult it is to convey in photos what you're seeing when you old one in your hands. After unpackaging this and trying to photograph it - now I totally get it.
What's amazing to me is Brett has implemented essentially the very first thing I described to him when we first started talking: I wanted something that doesn't look overtly flashy when looking at it casually or in diffuse light, but pops / takes on an entirely different look and level of interest when in bright light. When I move this thing to sunlight it's like a light switch gets thrown and all these bright things show up. It's amazing.
Who'd have thunk that a smooth, glossy finish would provide more gripability than the "orange peel" surface that was on it originally. It makes handling this gun much easier.
Thanks Brett!

That does look really cool. Nice work again Brett!
Thanks Mike
I've got another stock showing up I'm going to use this technique on but in blue candy with varying ground colors over the titanium gunmetal.
Should be exciting!
I can’t wait!
I'll remove door handles and bumpers!!
Lmao! When I sent you that video, I knew you were going to jump all over that. Hopefully we get a nice sunny day this weekend so I can take some pictures of Aubrey and her rifle. I’ll be posting a whole new thread for that one.
