Just spray it with Rust Oleum, and go out and shoot - looks great!

Looking good, bro. That is a great looking gun. Love the wood too.
Don't listen to Craig, he would have you paint it battleship grey.

Looks good so far. Mostly I like the fact that you are actually making this gun yourself. That is you are not farming out the sticky stuff, inletting the barrel, drilling the ramrod channel. Good Job!

You ARE doing a great job on it, and I am anxious to see it when finished.

I really like the look of that piece,but I would have to get a different kind of tape for the triggerguard when you finish it. Black electrical tape maybe!!! Keep up the good work Yip.
