interesting to finally see some color photos. i like the matte blue finish...i guess i never realized how different it was from the regular 98 blue
The finish is a dark phosphate.... I have an early one with shortened 98k stock which has a blue finish...BILLpity the fotos are overly dark - the overhead view looks like it may be a phosphated finish
and its the same finish all over - did they dip the whole assembled rifle (not the stock attached of course ) in one go (just plugging the chamber and muzzle end to protect the rifling)?
can we get a confirmation of the metal finish?
if I had one of these I would def shoot it - but I would'nt shoot a VG1 they seem borderline unsafe
