The work looks good but I don't like the design. To each his own.

dont like the marker its on, doesnt seem to flow well, I think mixed parts look better on blockier markers, but the anno is flawless.

^ When you start from raw, its a treat. Refinishing is so much more of a bugger than initial finish.

Which ofcourse means nothing to me since the marker came out as I requested and I like it. The whole mixed parts thing isn't my bag. Thats the beauty of custom work though. You can do what you want.

Great looking gun - I love AKA's myself and if you ever would like to get rid of her, please shoot me a PM and I will be sure to offer you a trade worth your time.

Honestly, the fade starts too far up the marker, and is too imediate - To each his own. Either way, I'd rock the hell out of it.

Nice gun, to GB for another flawless job.
