Very nice job. Nice stock. I have never used Ceracote but I have used GunKote from Brownell's and you can get some very good looking finishes.

One thing I learned about these kinds of finishes is that it appears to look and feel very hard out of the oven but they actually continue to cure for several days after baking and it is best just to let them sit at least 3 days before assembly as they may chip slightly. A week is probably better. After that they can be hard as nails I have a 10/22 receiver and barrel I did 6 years ago and they still look just as good as the first day


It is what you learn after you know it all that is important.
