Thanks for the info, very helpful.
Bryndon, The 514 is coming along good, I think. On the 5th cycle right now. Still a light gray color on most parts. The softer stuff like the trigger guard are pretty close. I am afraid I might have left a few parts rust to long and developed a little pitting. I have been putting them in the dungeon to rust. It is very damp, but cool. Might be to damp. Otherwise, it is looking good.
I will say this. These guys that advertise rust bluing a entire rifle for $300-$500 are working damn cheap.
