Hi all, I've got a M70 that I am going to have cerakoted. It's in the current production bell Carlson stock, blue with grey webbing. Does anyone have any suggestions for colour? Thinking either sniper grey, burnt bronze or midnight blue. Even better, does anyone have any photos of rifles wearing the same or similar coloured stock with cerakoted metalwork? Thanks

If you're looking for weatherproof but still want it to look traditional, I'd have H&M black nitride it. Just my 2 cents.

I had one done in Midnight Blue about ten years ago for a poster here - it looked fabulous..

I like the grey that kinda matches the matte stainless color Ruger used to have on it’s rifles. I think that would go well with the spider web on the stock. Good luck and have fun! Tom

Where is a good place to get this done? The cerekote or the black nitride.
Its not always easy to do the right thing, But it is always the right thing to do.
