I just don't get the lack of finish on a walnut gun that's clearly not intended to be weatherproof. How hard would *metal* bottom metal be on just the walnut/blued that they're billing as traditional?? (And you kids get off my lawn!!! 😇😂)


I thought the same thing, but then I found High Desert Rifle Works. They make a bottom metal that is a dupe of the factory...except metal.
