Guys I bought a PTG BM for a SA 700 that is SS. The aluminum is in its original bare state. Plan: have barreled action bead blasted. What do I do to match the bottom metal? Sorry if this is silly. Is it as easy as having the BM blasted also or should it have some annodized crap put on it? If it should be annodized where should it go after blasting?

Mine is bead blasted aluminum. Matches the bead blasted stainless pretty well.

In my experience, aluminum will take on a little different patina than stainless as it is handled even if it is bead blasted. Plus, aluminum tends to scratch more easily than stainless. You may consider having it coated with stainless Cerakote--this should give you the color you want and a little more protection for the softer metal.

I can let you know how it looks in about a week. I have a SPS stainless 7mm-08 with a aluminum PTG Oberndorf b/m at Kampfeld Customs now - Karl will do some stuff including bead blasting everything when completed, pretty sure it will look fine when completed.
