RE: I removed the thimble and ramrod.
Thanks for the link, thats pretty cool! I dont think Id do that too my laminate stock and zeiss scope though.
Right now its, laminate/stainless, w/ a matte black scope and ss rings and mounts. I think it would be perfect all black and laminate. That why I want to teflon coat it, along w/ making it virtually maintenance free and indestructible.
