I got a lot done on the project this week. After some serious deliberation I decided to change my color for the frame. The red would have been nice but I wanted the finished look to be taken seriously. I took some semi-gloss black and added a bit of pearl to it and airbrushed on a couple of coats. The photos don't do it justice here but I'm digging it. I would still like to come back with some clear jut to give a bit of protection.



The reshaped walnut grips have gotten a few coats of tung oil. They still need to be worked with 0000 steel wool and another coat (maybe more) before I'm done. They won't have that much of a gloss look in the end, just want to fill the grain some more.





I'll be wrapping this project up shortly, my 2400KT is on the brown truck so I need the bench space!

Looks good and that was the right decision on the black vs. red coating on the frame, it's VERY hard to take a red gun "seriously"

PS, yes, clear coat it, it really pays off for durability.
