JoesCuba is a member over at AR15.com and he always posts the coolest guns. This is his Dad's gun he posted over there. He served our country around the globe and for that I thank him! This was his Dad's gun that he got in a foreign country. You guys might really appreciate this one. According to Joe, that is the finish that was on the gun. I think the implication was that was from the factory. His Dad obtained it in Cuba. Which maybe that means it's older than 1961. When did we stop doing trade with Cuba? I don't know the history. (Quick Google says 1960). So this one is probably older than 61.

Rough draft, pre shading. This is one of the coolest Model 10's I've ever seen. Very unique.

I nearly gave up on this one after the first hour. I went through a bunch of eraser. I think I got it close now though.
