Default 1 Year Update

It's been a year since I have done this so, here is an update.

The rifle has not been used hard but, has seen several hundred rounds through it after the paint job. The paint has held up well with no chipping, wearing, or cracking. I have taken care as to not get gun solvents on the finish, though. I won't post a pic of it now because, it looks the same as the original pictures. So, prep is the key here. Degrease, degrease, degrease.........spray a good base layer and a clear coat and you will be fine. I'm sure if you use your rifle in harsher conditions or not baby it, it'll wear as time goes on.

Just figured I'd update this project.
