I like the new, that 2-tone cerakote is simple, but somewhat elegant - it's a subtle change that just strikes a chord for me.


As always, nicely done.

 

[mopar92]

I kind of want to hit the last choice just to be an ass. But in all suriousness. I like the nuevo.

Someone has to, its a trick question though. While calling me a bad Smith, you also admitting to me being a "Lord".

I can't put into words how much I thought about doing that..., but he did say it's been a long week, so I took it easy on him.

 

[mopar92]

Okay, I did it but one question. What's a bassmith? Do you make fish fully automatic or something.

 

[n&n'sdad]

I really hate both... cause they're not in my safe! The new changes look real good,I'm diggin' the grips.

 

[Mr. Ed]

They're BOTH awesome! You ever thought about doing that gun stuff for a living? j/k

Dammit, now my MKIII needs a facelift.

 

[nomo613]

i hate you! now i want one


but since you have two that means you can spare one right?


theyre both awesome but ill have to give the new one, 1st place in the awesome award

 

[Dave MP]

Difficult to say. Please send it to me for a proper evaluation. I "should" be able to return it in a couple of years (if I remember the directions to your shop).
