Does anyone have any pictures of their rifle in the stock with the barreled action coated something other than black? I really like the OD green with black and grey speckles and I'm thinking of having the action done in green or grey to match. Or going FDE as the base and coating the gun to match. I'm still open to other color combos, I just want to do the barreled action in something other than black.

OD Green stock that I speckled with Coyote Alumahyde, and receiver coated OD Green from Black Ice.

I would think it would be the standard $56 charge.

Hadn't seen this combo yet so when I ordered it I wasn't sure of how it would look. I was stoked to see that it came out the way it did.

Grey w/ black and tan specks
Rifle is cerakoted w/ Satin Mag

Bobby7321,

Nice looking rifle.

Here's a similarly flavored one I've been tinkering with for awhile.

Also posted it in the "Rifle Blueprints Only" thread but figured it belonged here as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

While not a full custom, here's a Stainless LH Model 70 I recently acquired and did some customizing to. I think it turned out pretty nice.

Work I did to it:

New custom Mauser-style bolt handle buildup and bolt release lever(by Mark Penrod)

Cut and re-crown barrel to 24", and whole barreled action bead-blasted to look factory fresh(by "Redneck")

PT&G steel bottom metal Cerakoted "Satin mag" to match stainless steel(by Eddie Fosnaugh). Still need to have Eddie Cerakote the Talley mounts in graphite black.

McMillan Win 70 FWT pattern in Black w/Gray speckletone paint

Glass bedding/floated barrel(did myself)

Cal: 7mm Rem Mag

Sorry for the crappy cell-phone pics.

Should be good medicine for Mulies/Elk on cross-canyon shots with handloaded 160gr Accubonds or 140gr T-TSX at 3,000 and 3,100 fps respectively.

How closely does the satin mag match the bead blasted finish and how do you like the color? Thanks it looks great.

Satin Mag is about as close to beadblasted stainless as you can get, IMO. It isn't a perfect match but it is pretty darn close. Close enough that I doubt anybody would notice unless they were told it was cerakote. Just a slight shade difference in color.

I think it looks great; really like it a lot. Not many options out there right now if you want custom bottom metal for a stainless barreled action. Cerakote solves the problem and looks good.

Both of the last two stocks shown above are really sharp. Glad McMillan finally came around to multi-colored paintjobs like these.

My McMillan Hunter came in yesterday. I've still not seen this exact combo, but I really like it. Olive base, with black and brown speckletone.

Has anybody done a tan base with black and olive green speckletone. I think that would look pretty dandy.

I would love to see a pic if anybody has one
