    Received the bottom metal back from Allen, so this project is now finished. It’s up for grabs, PM me if you’re interested.Name:  BB673302-3B8C-4A16-9ABA-A140BD202DCF.jpeg

    Your BSA 6x45 looks bloody nice with a full Cerakote job on the metal work. A bit dark when I got home today unfortunately so lighting not great inside.
    With the black fibreglass stock it's full stealth mode that's for sure.

    Been a long time between updates, so here’s a quick picture of the latest stock nearing completion. This is the forend panel completed, and it represents 22 hours of hand checkering. Would be a lot quicker with a power checkering tool, but they’re a few thousand dollars to invest… Maybe sometime.

    Thanks @Moa Hunter there are imperfections there if you look hard enough. But that’s the beauty in something that’s hand made, never perfect
