    GH did my rifle as well and it's been a while since it was done. Really hard wearing finish and his work was flawless. Happily recommend him to anyone.

    Duracoat or ceracoat are hard wearing when applied right....but can't match the hardness of a stone or barb wire.
    The good thing about a painted rifle....you can get it resprayed after a few years and it'll look like new again.
    I've also tried out a few tan colour variations, something different.

    Well lads/Ladies I can honestly say the photos do not do it justice as anyone who saw it can verify. As for the Leb I would take it any time rather than the crap we have now, 7.62/308 all the way, only thing they feared over there and the precarious Gusaf:D:)

    Gustaf as the Irish called it is the Carl Gustaf M/45. It is a 9mm SMG that fired only on F/A. It was also notorious for slam firing, ie with the action forward, on inserting a magazine should the SMG be dropped on its butt there was a high probability that the gun would fire.

    Rifle looks effing brilliant.

    But you need to get the scope done too. And the mag floor plate.

    We decided to leave the scope and mag for several reasons:

    1. The butt (not the spacers) is a softer/rubbery material and while it can be duracoated it wouldnt have the durability as the rest of the rifle.

    2. As the mag well/scope/butt looked new, leaving these parts black is effecticly adding a third colour. We had planned origionaly to spray the scope the same colour as the stock (coyote brown) but changed our minds last minute.

    There is no hassle in doing a scope though. Where barrel/action and stock can be baked for 20 min till dry the scope has to air dry to avoid damaging internals.

    3. The mag was left black to add to the contrast in black and in the event it getting lost or replaced. It also makes it stand out on the rifle.....

    Deerhunter1s eyes arent as sharp as they used to be :D:D:D :P
