I wouldn't spend the extra cash to refinish what's good right now. Mixed colours doesn't make any difference. I think it looks good as is.

It depends on what the owner wants. He has changed just about all the parts that were on the rifle already. He has already spent money on the correct IHC parts, so it seems to me that he is attempting to restore the rifle to as close to original appearance as he can. If that's the case, the light gray re-finish just does not work with the darker IHC parts. If he had just wanted a shooter, then yes, leave it as is. The SA, WRA and H&R parts that were originally in the rifle would have worked just fine.

I have been following the OP's posts on the CMP and Culver forums in regard to this rifle and there are a lot more photos, both "before and after". Also a description of the rifle as purchased.

Bottom line, to each his own. I am sure there are other opinions, this is just mine.

And so far, everyone disagrees with you. Yes, it's his rifle. I couldn't care less what he, or you for that matter does...is THAT ok with you?

If you careless about anyone's opinion then why do you bother stroking your keyboard on Milsurps?
I thought you both had good points for the OP and I'm sure that was one of the reasons Milsurps was established.

Jim, Not a case of agreeing or disagreeing. The OP stated "Still trying to decided if I'm going to re-park the rifle. Your input and comments would be appreciated". I am just giving him my "comments", which is what he requested.
