Metal finish is Duracoat manufactured by Lauer and the color is Coyote . I have been using this for about (3) years now and prefer it to bluing if building a rifle that will be used in the field. Extremely durable in all weather conditions and storage. jplonghunter

That is a very nice looking conversion of the Arisaka!
The Duracoat sure looks different- I'd be interested to know how it holds up, as compared to blueing. I'm also curious- was there a reason you didn't Duracoat the bolt handle?

I have been using Duracoat for about (3) years on milsurp conversions and am very satisfied with resistance to weather as none of my rifles are safe queens. In reference to not coating the bolt,I prefer the contrast. jplonghunter
