Shout out to Christian at Scalpel Arms - 10/31/15 03:36 AM

Drove to Carrollton and dropped off my upper, lower, rail, and buffer tube for his same day special Cerakote. Decided to go with burnt bronze because it's just sexy smile. Christian did an awesome job barely had enough time to go to the range and test some loads before he called and said it was ready. Very fast turn around time. Thanks Christian up up got it all out back together tonight when my new parts kit came in and new trigger. Got the hiperfire EDT ready to go try it out but can already feel a huge difference over milspec trigger.

Really nice K!!! That is the best color scheme!

I'm scared to take mine apart and get it coated, afraid it wont shoot as good if I do....

I have found a couple coaters who will doo it all for a small fee.

Thanks guys I really like it. The pics of course do it no justice. Buzz I cussed several times last night when putting it back together and I've done this several times now. If you don't have the correct tools to do it and they only charge a small I'd just get them to do it. They mess something up they're liable for it lol. You mess something up its all on you. Thank goodness I had a few detents left over from another build, those things launch like a rocket.

Gallon size Zip lock bags are your friend!! LOL
I learned a long time ago to assemble small parts with springs inside a plastic bag,they don't fly as far.

That rifle looks great! I'm going to have him coat my 6.5-06 after deer season,I didn't want to take it all apart before hunting season.

Wow that's genius... Can't believe I've never thought of that.

Thanks everyone now I just need to shoot it. new trigger feels awesome, it's not geissele, but it feels pretty dang good and only $85 from Joeboboutfitters.

Christian did a barreled action for me, he does great work!

My next stock I might have him do a multicam pattern for me.
