Know what would look really cool and I am thinking about it. Taking all the brass from a Hawken to a plating shop and having it either nickel plated and sand blasted or zinc plated and then putting a stainless barrel on it.
Call me old fashion, and no offense dp, but I think the blue and brass go better together.
T/C made a Hawkin rifle like that once. It was a Hawkin Elite or something like that. A person I know has one. I've tried to talk him out of it a number of times, but he will not budge. Even though I doubt he's ever shot the thing.
