The receivers on all of them that I've seen were cast and painted not blued. Duracoat makes a "blued" color if that's what you want otherwise go with the cerakote.

CeraKote would be an excellent choice for a finish. We did my yougest sons hand me down Glenfield in black with a stainless barrel. With the amount of time we put in filling the pitting and the cost of the coating we probably have the most expensive Glenfield in the world. But the time we spent together and the look in his eyes when it was finished was priceless.

You can save a few bucks if you use Krylon. The finish is not as durable as Cerakote but if it's just for a .22 you can't go wrong with Krylon and you can always do it over should the finish get chipped or damaged. I just finished a Marlin Model 88 today that had been stored in a closet for too many years. Refinished Marlin Model 88

I will have to dig it out and take one for you tomorrow. |

I'm just curious how the krylon will stand up to cleaning and oils.I really like the look of the stock. That's a nice color. Depending on how I finish my barrel will determine the color of stain I use on my stock. |

Seeing as your refinishing a .22 I wouldn't worry about it too much. AKASL LIVE FREE OR DIE |

Enforcer22, that's a nice looking rifle.
I have decided to go with a stainless colored barrel and receiver with a dark stained custom stock. Hopefully it turns out like I see it in my head. |
