Default GPR Ques.

What do you guys like better? Silver nosecap or browned nosecap?

Just finished the barrel late tonight. Took 2 days to do! LMF takes forever but it did a really nice job.

Also going to do the lock LMF Brown once i finish everything else.

the silver gives you a nice contrast from all the brown you have.

I like the bright finish.

Neither.. you should be ashamed to even have an ugly rifle like that in your house.. Mail it to me immediately and I will make sure it never bothers you again. And people say I do not look out for others in need..


the silver unless you darken the estucheon plates as well as the nose cap.

Man cayugad, your unselfish display of concern for a fellow forum member has me feeling ashamed of myself. We should all be willing to share in the burden. Now I know you have a lot of guns laying about you need to worry about, so I'll do my share and take this one. There, I feel better already.

I am going to finish up the rest of the trim and then i'll decide. I gotta do something about the ugly ramrod color! Oil stain doesnt take to it! I have some waterbase that i will try out next and hope it covers.

painting an uncooperative ramrod black with black trim often times looks pretty nice.

I like the silver better. I really like that browned barrel. Everything looks super. I agree with Dave on painting the ramrod.

If the rest of the furnishings are going to be silver then fine. If not I like them all the same.
