I finished this a while ago, but just got around to making display for it. Here are the pics.
It is the all steel ANH version. I flame blued the ejector, safety, etc., and rust blued the upper. I couldn't stand to paint the lower (to be accurate) so I used super blue on that. I think the contrast looks good.
I commissioned a couple stamps for the makers markings. The serial number is a little large, but ts what I could find. I made my own stencils for the scope rail.
The stand is made from a walnut slab I got from a local downed tree.
I am pretty happy with how it all came out!
