Thanks I'm very happy with it.the thumbhole went out yesterday for paint it will be green with black webbing. I also decided to have all the metal nitride treated. Will post when complete.

My Super 91's are black iced and the Model 97's are SS, so I'm good on the finish. The Thunder is blued, but I take care of it, again not a problem.

How much is it to nitride treat a barrel? or can you treat the whole gun...

I just do all the metal parts mine are in perfect condition I just like the nitride compared to the original finish it's way more durable and the nitride treats the inside of barrel as well. It's 250 dollars for two guns which includes all metal parts,screws,and action parts if I decide to do them. I did my .410 super safari in nitride and I love the finish !

I did my ss 91 in black ice and I'm not impressed with the durability of the ice compared to the nitride.

Looks sweet! Nice job!

You should post this also in the ML forum... :)

Heck yeah, always interested in what folks are doing. Hit up the ML forum too, alot of those guys probably don't come here. I guess can call this one a White Knight :D
