Some carbine photos

Here are a couple of quick shots of recent acquisitions.
The 10/22s was produced in March, 1966.
The m77 RSI .250 Savage was produced in January, 1985.
Both have very few light handling marks on the wood. The only flaw in the metal on either is a small nick in the aluminum trigger guard on the 77. Looks old and is into the metal. Can anyone recommend a touch-up paint that closely matches that finish?
Thanks,
Owen

This is my Deerstalker, produced in December, 1961. It had been finished with a heavy coat of polyurethane which had cracked in places. I stripped and restained the wood, which was nearly perfect under the poly. Had to replace the buggered barrel band with a later version.
The stock is for a .357 in my future. I plan to refinish the smooth wood to match the .44 for a two-tone effect.

Thanks for looking.
Shooting, as it were, for ten carbines in ten calibers. More to come.
Right now, though, the No. 1s are out of my price range.

OM CRAZY, I may have to make that 11 carbines, now. Just not complete without a No. 1 RSI.
