I believe the Sage Green and Black are the first ones to be Cerakoted. Next will be the Dark Earth, Pale Brown, and Classic Green, depending on the queue at Red Beard and whether or not they have the color-match to their liking yet.

Do you know if they will be shipping the sage green and black units to you when they are all done or will they wait until all colors are done?
Well some not so great news on the fasteners. I had a local shop strip the black oxide and re-plate with black zinc, but after testing a few of them I don't think the thread geometry remained the same. I'll test them further once the chassis kits are back in hand, but at this point I might scrap those and send you guys both standard black oxide fasteners as well as the zinc plated (shiny silver). That way you can decide if you want the all-black look that might surface rust if left wet, or if you don't mind the shiny look you won't have to worry about any surface rust. For reference, pretty much everything we get today is black oxide, other than a few notable exceptions like Spuhr, which uses black zinc-nickel. Those coatings at low quantities, you're talking dollars per fastener, not pennies.
It's no big deal for me to send both, but it's too late in the game and too expensive to try to source custom fasteners with this low of quantities. I'm kinda bummed, but I don't want to send the kits out with fasteners that won't thread or even worse will mess up a bunch of the threads.

Makes me happy I got gods color(sage green) lol
As for the fasteners I know I don’t mind and believe others won’t either. You have gone above any expectations.
Zink plated fasteners are no problem, we can address the color issue down the road if need be. Let's get the sage green (the most accurate color ever) out the door so we can start sending pictures of completed rifles.
No one ordered a crazy color or pattern, I think that’s a semi-auto receiver or something.Do I spy a storm trooper arctic version ?
Hey guys, here’s a couple tips on de-bonding for those that might be curious or a little scared of doing it.
Here’s the weight of the action, bolt, and tall action rail. 2 lb 13 oz
Those look amazing! I can't wait to see mine, looking even better in pale brown!
I can get you some more teaser pics tonight of my drug-dealer setup, weighing out epoxy portions to the 0.1 gram LOLIs it bad that I'm checking this thread every two hours hoping for more teaser pics?
I bought a full set of Sage Green skins just to cannibalize the grips. Also picking up the Hoptic Mlok quiver and cheek piece pad. Now, I'm contemplating sending my action and two barrels to Redbeard to be cerakoted SG....hmmm
Now is a great time to do it if you're ever going to want it. Lol
i do the same thingIs it bad that I'm checking this thread every two hours hoping for more teaser pics?
There’s nothing worse than a sage green rifle with a SS barrel. So uncivilized!I bought a full set of Sage Green skins just to cannibalize the grips. Also picking up the Hoptic Mlok quiver and cheek piece pad. Now, I'm contemplating sending my action and two barrels to Redbeard to be cerakoted SG....hmmm
I told you that in confidence!!!
This is a damned conspiracy!!!
I'll pay it though...
*kicks rocks*

Sorry, don’t have any new pics for you guys. Just some old pics of the prototype.
Apology not accepted (because none was needed)... We're just a bunch of crack addicts looking for our next fix, don't mind us.
P.S. Not to be weird (@reubenski already knows the truth), but that low bore axis makes my pants tight... Not sure why.

He's holding out on us... I already interrogated him on that.
He decided to extend the forearm 1.5" & did away with it... Actually had pretty good reasoning.
Don't tell anyone but I haven't given up on the spigot idea... Once I get the chassis in hand, I'm going to see just how ridiculous it'd be to make it happen... I'll keep you posted, bro.
Yes, that’s the original prototype design with the spigot. I did away with it on the production design for a couple reasons, and made the forend 1.5” longer which also mitigated the benefit of it.
@J-Ham your order is being revoked, thanks for playing.

Sorry for liking your post... Hope that doesn't get you into hot water with the man... I don't know how to take it back!
Spigot bigot? Spbigot? Either way, don't tempt fate.
Meh, missed it by .100"... I'll just hit it with a forrest green Sharpie & no one will ever know the difference.
I am SO set!!! Never run a mill before, but now have the confidence I need to undertake this!
I can't, if I ever decide to run for president that will surely be my downfall.
Wow, that's enough micro-aggression from you two. I'm heading back to my safe space!
I feel like I was minding my own business & you all came after me... I'm like the Pearl Harbor of this fiasco.
I hate to give you heathens any more pictures, but here you go
Sa
Sage green.
... just Sage Green?!?!
Haha!
Haha!
That’s what Red Beard is finishing in the first batch, Black is already done. Trust me, I’m bugging them more than you guys are bugging me haha
That's OK, we're willing to wait for something as awesome as these!
