Fancy wood grips good for bbq showing........

I have a bolt knob for an Anschutz rifle which was hydro-dipped. 
I took off the plastic coating, and want it to have a "glossy gun blue" type of cerakote.  Is there such a thing?

thanks

Vudoo 360 action
MPA Matrix Pro chassis or MDT Elite chassis
25”-26” Shilen or Muller straight contour 1.200 barrel
***haven’t decided on the chamber yet
Triggertech diamond or BixnAndy trigger
ABR bag rider

There’s a few gunsmiths/shops that I just started talking to.  If not Vudoo action, I might go the Rim X route.

Okay, good choices......  But I would go more for a BR rifle......

Jerry Stiller's Holeshot 2500x single-shot action
Muller barrel  or another Benchmark 29" , yeah maybe thick like 1.200, but there must be a reason why Lilja, Shilen, Benchmark barrels (straight contour) are all about 0.905" or so......
Nevius 22 chamber reamer for Lapua Midas+ and CenterX, of course X-Act, or maybe Winchester 52D chamber, the tightest match chamber available...
Bix n Andy competition trigger (556fun get one on his blue Turbo... awesome, but too light...at 1oz...better at 2oz)
Lidgard BR stock
March 8-80x 56mm scope, SFP, with March rings, the new scope looks awesome......
Maybe Steve Boelter to build it... if I ask real nicely, or if too busy, Evelio McDonald and wait maybe 2 years.....

Gotta start saving coins .....

  Good blog on Lapua vs Eley, chamber reamers, etc.

Italian stock received in March 2023.

Decided to put an Anschutz 54.18 MSR repeater barreled action into a stock made to be a single-shot.

Stock sent to Las Vegas for inletting a magazine assembly into the stock, and new epoxy bedding.

Come to find out that it needed the barreled action to be straightened inside the stock.....

Got the stock back from Las Vegas yesterday after about 4 months there.

Hope it's not windy this weekend.

Ren, yeah hope so.

I get Sat & Sun 8am.  Gotta see which day get less wind.

I got another MarchX 10-60x56mm High Master with MTR-1 reticle, illuminated.  Got matching March Gen III scope rings to go together.

Both should be in HNL next week.... scope from eurooptics in PA, and rings from UK.
Both going onto my Italian F-Class/BR 54.18 rifle when I get it back from Las Vegas.


Now, only 1 more item I really want..... SEB Neo X........nothing after this one for a long time I hope...
On waiting list since 6/2022 for blue or red......

The King Kong of Scopes, both MOA or MIL:  March 8-80x 56mm HM  ! !

To be offered from March 2, 2023.... $4550 

I’m eventually going to build another rifle but probably not diving into the single shot rabbit hole…

Akubone1,

Nah, not out of reach.  Just a lot of hassle..........
When I first saw these stocks on FB I thought they were out of reach in price and location - Italy.
It did cost a more than a few KBG $20 drinks, but not out of reach.....  you gotta deal with each issue as they appear....
Language was solved by using very simple simple English (my Italian is bad that's why  ).  Sending money to Italy was also
a learning experience with some surprises with bank surcharges............

This one is an F-Class Open stock, not really benchrest, but I had Andrea Santacroce shorten the forend, making the forend 3" wide, and
the bottom line of the stock parallel with the forend with the stock bottom being 1/2" width to fit my rear bag........   to make it a BR stock.

Packing it up to ship to Las Vegas this week, so Steve B. can dig a hole in the stock for the 54.18 magazine assembly.  He has personally made all the
Anschutz 54.18 BR50 repeating rifles in the single-shot U2 BR stock.  He will inlet it a little better, epoxy bed it, cut the extra-long new action screws, and make sure
everything is straight.

Today's TV news said that the pistol and rifle range are slated to reopen in April (ha! ha!), and I hope to get it back by that time...........

Hope to see you and the other guys soon at Kokohead........

I was looking for another pair of Kelbly rings, 34mm diameter, dovetail base for the Anschutz 11mm rail.

Come to find out that Kelbly stopped making them and got rid of all their stock... even Kelbly's distributors didn't have what I wanted.

When I asked for suggestions on a rimfire blog, all I got was suggestions for rings from pyramydair.com (airgun site) ...........

Right under my nose was March scope rings when I was looking at the March scopes...........

They fit the 3/8" American rail and the 11mm European rail.

They are made in the UK and not Japan like their scopes..... (Update: No, not made in UK.  Made in Italy from the instructions in the box)

Ordered them last Sunday 1/29/2023 and they arrived via DHL on Thursday 2/3/2023 from UK !!

These rings will go on a new MarchX scope to be on March's sale starting March 1st......

drck1000, yes, it seems to be bothering me which is why I was thinking of having it reblued......
however, you would just shoot it, no?............

Even oldfart says worry about the front sight instead of the color of the slide............

I'll just let it go for now and not let it bother me.........

I guess there's no Kokohead to go to nowadays, so I'm just cleaning & re-cleaning my guns for lack of a better thing to do...........
nitpicking every little thing on my guns.....

This WC shoots real tight when it came to me.  I don't want to have the slide re-blued which might disturb the fit of the slide to the frame and ruin the "harmonics".

If and when it shoots loose, or needs some sort of tuning, I'll send the whole pistol back and then
raise the issue of the plum-color slide, and see what they say.
