Dave,
Oh yeah, I'm taking pictures. BUT......I still don't know how to post them here. I guess I'll have the wife do it.

For the finish, I think I might go with bead blasting and bluing. Or maybe just blue, don't know yet. Hummmm...for sights? I believe a low powered scope.

On a different note, I fired two groups yesterday out of my Varmint Bushmaster of my new handloads. 3 shot groups at 100 yards were 3/8". Love it.

Take care, Kevin
