Hilton is an artist, no doubt.

I've seen photos of a couple of guns he has done. I would be happy for you if I wasn't so jealous.

Enjoy!!

Visith,

You would have to ask Hilton that as he took the pictures prior to shipping the gun to me. I have generated similar quality pictures with my Olympus D-3030 camera, but I don't know what Hilton uses.

See the Tactical Forums for pics I have taken of other guns.
