I recently sent off my favorite Busse to Alex Valenzuela (Avalenz at BF) for some "upgrades" and just thought I'd give you guys a look at the modification he made to my Boss Jack.....:D

I'm sure most of you have seen the Military Overrun HG-55 that Alex modified to resemble an Urban Grudge (see link below).

What I had in mind for my Boss Jack was considerably less dramatic than the HG-55 MO, but the result was quite impressive......:thumbup::thumbup:


Here's what the Boss Jack looked like before I sent it to Alex.....:)

Not bad, but I'm not a big fan of powder coats on my INFI......:barf:

So, I requested that the factory muddy brown coating to be removed and refinished with a non-reflective bead blasted finish. Originally I thought it would be nice to have the handles bead blasted as well, but changed my mind about this as I didn't want to risk messing up the fit to the Mashed Cat sheath that Eric fitted for this Boss Jack.....:)

Here's what the finished product looks like after Alex stripped, bead blasted and sharpened the Boss Jack.......:cool:

The Busse logo wasn't salvageable as it was integral to the coating, so it was lost forever when the coating was stripped......:(

Just kidding, I'm a BIG fan of the "sterile" look so it was no problem at all......;)

I'm very excited with how nicely this turned out and can't thank Alex enough for taking the time to make this happen. Thanks Again Alex, AWESOME WORK!!!

Holy Smokes that turned out beautiful!!! Like the fine bead blast myself and the R/B G-10 really accents the thing. Well Done...
 
Let me know if you have a project. I'm doing mods on a job to job basis pm me interested in having work done.

I left the coating intact under the scales to prevent rust from getting under them.

Speaking of rust, I'm getting little spots of rust showing on this Boss Jack from sweating profusely in the desert. Had to start oiling it with mineral oil so it shouldn't be an issue anymore.....:thumbup:

Just goes to show that any steel will rust under the right conditions...... :eek:
 
That is very nice...Sterile No Choil....Sweeeet!!!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
That link to the HG is the link to edit the post :o

I'd like to see it though, if you could post the link to the thread

He did a good job on that Boss Jack. I'm a choiled Jack man myself, but it still looks beautiful. And thumbs up on the red/black handle, that's the Roy clan colors. I wish they'd do more of a chinese fire red so it sticks out more. If the red looked like the third from last pic all the time, I don't think I'd want any other color combo.

I agree, that color combo would be perfect! Red & Black G-10 is definitely my default choice if I have the option......:)
