At the time, i did not know anything about installing pillars, it was my first attempt at stock "building", i just did what i thought would work, with very little research into the matter, it would have been the easy road though.. had i thought of that, or known about the technique
i will probably paint the entire action now i suppose, after checking around, it seems like matching the color/texture will not be that easy
which is better in the long run, a naturally curing coat, or a baking type? i have the means to bake the gun, if that is the only reason people choose to go with the non-baked coatings, no old oven big enough to do so in i mean
