Hey everyone,

I wanted to show you guys, and say thanks to Todd (30calsniper) with Manners Stocks and Bobby (NotAGuru) with Lawton Machine for going the extra mile on what already was a pretty sweet-ass stick to begin with.

As some of you may remember this is the rifle I won on the 4th of July that Steve Fikes got going for the Hope 4 Heroes Foundation. While I was stareing/drooling over it at my local gun store Shooters Paradise, I noticed that the bolt was barely and I mean barely nicking the magnification ring when I really ripped the bolt back.

I wasnt sure what I should do if anything at all and decided to give Bobby a call. Lawton Machine along with several other vendors here in the Hide (US Optics, Manners Stocks, Badger Ordinance, GA Percision, to name a few) was one of the companies responsiable for making this happen. If not for their good grace and a little luck, it would've been years before I could even think about owning something this nice.

After speaking with him for a few minutes he said: "We would be happy to help, send to us and we will bend it for you free of charge" When I asked him how they were going to do it (Heat it up and bend it) I relized it would mess up the Cerakote finish. So I got Todd on the phone, told him what was going on, and asked him how much it would cost to re-coat it. He said he would do it free of charge and while I was at it, go ahead and send the scope and he would take care of it to.

I couldn't be any happier with these guys and their work, and I thought I should show the rest of you.



Here a pic of the way it looked when I got it:

I forgot to mention that the coating is a blend of Cerakote and Polane. Todd perfectly matched that scope without being able to look at the gun. Dude is a pro.

Looks great! I really like the scope that color. Its always great to hear about everyone coming together to put together a project like that, and to then to have them touch it up afterwards, really awesome.
Lets see some range reports!
