• Turn up the bling

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2006 12:27 pm**

The black bolt knob on the 54:18 was looking kind of bland after the red knob on the 1710. So in the interest of turning up the bling....TA DA new "bigger" red bolt knob.

Am feeling a little better,still pretty tired.....But, when I saw that red bolt knob come out of that Champions Choice box along with the other stuff I ordered I perked up considerably.......

Now I think I'm going to go home his evening and powder coat the rings red.

Sometimes when a guy gets along in life he develops a second passion. Most of the time it

You mean like this??? Looks perfectly normal to me. Life's too short to shoot ugly guns and spend time looking for them on the rack......

I noticed in another thread you've powder coated your rings, how much thickness did the powder coating add to the surface? I just sent out my base, mounts, trigger guard, and trigger shoe to get anodized blue to match my two tone colored stock. I decided to go with anodizing instead of powder coating only because I'm using Marv Pearson's base and mounts. These items have a precise dovetails that really doesn't allow for any buildup of material when they slide on to each other, with the anodizing precess this should leave the components lean enough to work fine.

Added less than 2mls of powdercoating. I didn't powdercoat the inside surface of the rings or the dovetail. Mask those areas with hi-temp fiberglas tape, that way you won't have any problems with fit.

Kitty,

You are the official "Pimp Daddy" and I may be able to get you on the Outdoor Channel for "Pimp My Rifle"!

If you cannot find that rifle, you are liable to cross in Winnie!

Hope you haven't breathed in too much of the powder coating stuff!

Wonder if I can put a remote controlled IPOD in the stock......Use the buttstock as a bass resonator.......Get some of that bass action going....Got a fur lined gun sock for her.....Paul, you better jump in here, you're getting behind with the bling....Don't mean a thing if you dont' bring that bling.....

I'm just now getting a handle on pillar bedding and suddenly it's all about Technicolor powder coat! Can't wait to see how this wrinkle plays out!

John,

Not falling behind, just not showing my cards before the bet is called! You will see when I get to Jacksonville.

Okay, while you two compare pink flamingos I'm gonna practice some more... Getting out blinged is one thing, but out shot is another...

A pink flamingo........hmmmm.....now that has possibilities.......BTW, I've got some purple powdercoat that would look good on your new BKL cantilevered mount.......Or Bubble Gum Pink.......
