Looks pretty nice, does have some colors on it. Like the stubby.
Nice-looking blaster. If you Cerakote it OD Green, it will all be a matching OD, and will protect the finish for life. I've been doing it for a while now, and it blows away Duracoat and other PTFE coatings hands-down. It also sticks to Nitro-carb'd finishes, so there's not much it won't stick to.

The newer Super Snipers from SWFA here in Texas are excellent optics for the money. Also, there is the Geissele triggers - a lot of different choices along with an Atlas bipod should do it. Looks sweet.
Nice rig. I put that same OD green forearm on one of my 6x45's. It's the same grey. Will pull it and do a Cerakote OD Green to match. I agree on the Cerakote. Good stuff. I used it on the mentioned 6x45 in forest green with the OD green furniture. Just finished another 6x45 today using graphite black Cerakote on a Shilen 18" CM bbl I turned/chambered.

Snew, how does the Liberty barrel shoot? I am thinking of picking up the 16 inch for a carry all day deer rifle.
I was finally able to shoot it yesterday. I think the barrel shoots well. My trigger is absolutely awful and that grip pod blows as a bipod. On a rest with very dilligent trigger control I got ~1 MOA 5 shot group @100. It's definately a decent barrel for hunting and my build is light enought to carry all day.
I wasn't too impressed with the Liberty barrel initially. When I got it the barrel extention had a lot of surface rust and the flutes aren't clocked with the gas hole/extention. Not a big deal but it kinda lets you know it's a budget barrel even if you paid $267 shipped. Maybe my expectations are too high.
I have an Atlas bipod on the way. I'm looking into triggers now. Any suggestions?

Wow, I just have to compare to the forum barrel/bolt offers. Roughly same $$$, SS barrel, super clean extension, properly packaged, AA Bolt. Just don't see the Liberty barrels as a good value in comparison. My 16" is shooting very well in my carbine. I guess the fluting would be one difference in the Liberty, don't know if that's an option in the forum deals.
Thanks for the update on the Liberty barrel. I just ordered a 16" from the Satern clearance for a stalking rifle. A light MOA rifle is what I was lookiing for and from what I have been reading I should get it.
this is why i missed this site all the awesome weapons builds great job snew
