I'll probably just make the black blacker. Did you prefer the Hogue overmolded as opposed to a Boyd Blaster?Mike from Texas wrote:What color are you going to Duracoat the receiver?

Thanks for sharing.
I should acquire a 1984 10/22 this coming weekend. My E&B .920 barrel arrived today. While the trigger assembly is at Clarks, I'll prep and DuraCote the receiver. Then it's off to the races in quest of that 1/4" group at 50 yards.
BTW, I'll highly recommend my Simmons .22Mag scopes.
I believe the Aetec is a step or two above the 22 Mag scopes, but I have been spoiled here recently. I finally broke down and bought a Leupold Mark IV and NOW I see the difference in the quality of glass since I own one. I used to scoff at paying that much for a scope, but there IS a difference and it's a big one. I used to love my Aetec scopes but they look like garbage now compared to the Leupold. Now I'm not going to go off the deep end and put a $1k scope on a 10/22 but for the right rifle it is well worth the $$ spent.
We're retired and can't afford that king of glass. What're you planning to do with your Aetecs?
Are e-mails in order?
