Got my pre-ban Bushmaster back from Walter last week. Had an extra upper and 5 mags refinished by him as well.
Had the lower, uppers, and barrels (Colt 20" 1/7 A2 and 1/7 HBAR) done in Green-T, with the sights, compensators, switches, mags and other parts done in Black-T.
Needless to say my rifle is now very beautiful. No more Bushmaster Purple for me.
The rifle and mags were completely disasembled and refinished inside and out, including all springs. But, of course, not the chrome lined parts like the bore, chamber, firing pin, and part of the insides of the bolt carriers.
The range numbers and lines were painted white, along with the safety indicator and the words safe on both sides. Fire was done in red.
Cost to me $215, customer pick up. Please note: Walter is NOT doing any more Green-T for now, because of a supplier problem, but hopes to have that problem resolved in the next 2-4 months.
Have not had a chance to re zero the uppers, and d%#* it, the crappie are biting, so looks like it'll have to be Sunday.
