Roger is an amazing artist. Roger sent some pictures of the floormetal yesterday. I was speechless for awhile. This thing is going to have a look to it. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/shanethompsonminimauserpartii/large/MiniMauserfloorplate004ps.jpg) Terry

Terry, That thing just keeps getting more spectacular. I doubt I could afford the photo shoot it's gonna take to do that rifle justice.

I got the last pictures from Roger today. What can I say? I knew when I called him I was going to get a nice engraving job, but I would have never imagined the results. This is going to be a beautiful rifle. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/shanethompsonminimauserpartii/huge/MiniMauserfloorplate002lowres.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/shanethompsonminimauserpartii/large/Quarterribandsightlowres.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/shanethompsonminimauserpartii/large/Rearsightbosslowres.jpg) Terry

The components are stunning. A LOT of thought has gone into this rifle.

TC1:
Beautiful rifle, and beautiful engraving.
I am assuming that the bottom metal is just the normal steel that is used for bottom in most Mauser and other rifles. Except for aluminum.
I have always wondered how what was put on engraved surfaces, when they were left bright, to prevent rust from forming.
Does your floorplate, trigger guard, quarter rib and other engrageved surfaces have any type of protective coating, or is is just bare metal?
