I talked to him again tonight and and found out these will be made of 1018 steel. this steel will hold a tank blue and rust blue very well. He said he thought it could be case color hardened too but would need to check on it as the it's pretty thin in a few spots.
I'm shipping my rifle to him this week for him to use as a test mule to do a "one off" on. As soon as I get pictures I will forward them on for every one to look at.
I really need some comments on bow shape. What would you guy's like to see in this? We can either have a conventional style guard like on a Winchester M70 or we can have an egg shaped one. I personally would like something in-between. A nice oval shape, but I'm completely open to suggestions and will go with the majority.
