Well, I passed my Restricted course today and now I just need to send in my paperwork. On another note, I received some pics from one of the guns I had sent to CerakoteBC and it turned out awesome. I can't recommend Frank from CerakoteBC enough - he spent hours on both my guns and he is a perfectionist - so know that you are going to get your money's worth.

I had taken a few guns from a friend of mine to clean them up as he had his basement flood and then he left his guns in a humid area, so they were covered in rust and the wooden stock had the imprint pattern of the gun bag in the stain and was in rough shape.

I told him I would pay to have his guns restored (he is the Godfather to my kids and lets me use his shop to work on my car and truck) but that I got to choose how they would be done. I had an idea for his Savage 24 and below are the before and after pics. I did this with the hopes he may sell it to me for my kids and wife, which he probably will, but even if not I think it turned out even better than I imagined.

Before:

After- colours are Crimson Red and Satin Aluminium with a little Graphite Black on the sights:
