Kibler .45 cal SMR build

[DOUBLEDEUCE 1]

Outstanding ! Beautiful stock and browned parts ! It all came together really beautifully.

Beautiful job, I love the color! I did a similar small parts browning job on a Tn rifle build.

Some guy (JERK) on here made a point to scold me and inform me that I made the parts "too" brown and had done it all wrong.

Does this look "too" brown? If course I know it isn't, after all, I made it to suit me.

Finished the rifle today. Two coats of Kibler's iron nitrate with a coat of Trans-tint amber in between. Then used Jim Chambers Stock finish. The color came out a wonderful rich dark color, as seen in the full view pictures, but when the sunlight hits it the curl stands out.

Soon it will be summer and the browning oven in my driveway is coming to temperature. I get the very dark brown color that I like. My van will get up to about 150 degrees F in the sun.
