What color is the Cerakote?
Would you be able to upload the pix to this site?

Thanks

I asked the guy @ Osprey rifles to visualise that old damascus shotgun from way back, sort of rust bronze, this was the result, with a little bit of fine mottling in black for individuality, I got a good set of positive comments on my home site at the stalkingdirectory, just giving her a good clean through ready for the walkabout in two weeks time (Roe), prints hole on hole with Sellier & Bellot 150 grain spce's @100yds.

Burnt bronze I think being the parent for his own personal twist on mixing.
