I did consider brass though. It would look cool. Maybe if I build a second one.
Or, if you were to build one in brass I would gladly watch that thread.
I'm thinking about building one, the brass has been on my mind ever since I first saw the breakaway drawing of the receiver. 22 LR or 22 Magnum brass would be fine, But for what I'm wanting one for steel is what I would put on it, just so that it wouldn't have big shiny yellow sides on it.
Right now I'm up to my eye balls in this Winchester, I'm getting close hope to have it blued by the first week of march which is when my birthday is.
