Last weekends little project.

Finally did something Ive been meaning do to for awhile.
Some of ya'll may remember this build from when I first got started.Ive been dying to redo it.

I stripped and rebuilt it with the Amtak Micro's,new buttwrap and new red aluminum front and butt trim pieces I had laying around.
Removing the old epoxy on the matte finish left some rough spots.(right in front of the stripper guide,and in between the hook keeper and buttwrap) ..Its smooth,but left the finish looking rough...I thought above refinishing the blank,but I didnt feel like ordering more permagloss and I wanted to knock it out quick......
