baldie Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 One of this weeks finished rifles. This a .338 Lapua magnum. Built on a Defiance Deviant long magnum action. The barrel is a Bartlien 5R Heavy straight taper blank, finished at 30" { if I remember correctly ] and finished with an M18 x 1 muzzle thread, invisible cap, Sako Brake, and a jet-z SL7 sound moderator. The trigger is a Timney Calvin Elite unit, and the metalwork is finished in H series OD green. The stock is a new Ai AX unit. This was stripped down to the last nut and bolt, and completely blasted. Base coat applied and a flash cure. Then the colours were applied, one by one, with a flash cure in-between. The plastic parts have to have a cooler cure, which extends the times considerably. It has to be part assembled in-between, to allow the pattern to blend across the stock. When all colours are on, its a full strip, and a final cure. Takes forever. Colours are OD Green, AI dark earth, and Armour black H series cerakote. Turned out nice I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch_egg Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 The paint scheme is impressive. I hate to think how many hours were spent on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 The rifle itself is an amazing piece of art work! But the paint scheme is also just as amazing!! Top marks to you Baldie. Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
