The rifle turned out great, really like the finish. My carved Woodsrunner in Cherry arrived yesterday. I'll post photos when finished. It sure looks nice coming out of the box.

Seems like every one likes the color, including me. So what was used to get that?

The wood finish goes without saying. (It's great) I really like the brass finish. Was that done with paint or with bone char??
