New Rival scale for my 550 (and a few other mods)

[daveb068]

Just received my gray/black g10 scale from Keeth and it is just awesome. I wanted to go with something a little less flashy and decided on the gray/black. I had only seen his work in pics until my scale arrived. I must say pics don't do his work justice. If you are on the fence about a scale, take my advice and shoot him an email. You will not be disappointed. Along with his scale I have added a Grey Precision LBS button and polished the clip, screws and standoffs. Thinking about stonewashing the lock side. Here are a few pics from my crappy phone.

Ooo, I really like the looks of that. I have a marbled kryptoglow on mine that I like quite a bit. I wish I could pick up one of the real hinderer scales.

I like it, especially with my new found appreciation for the 0550. What I love about the aftermarket scales is you get a lot of variety. Stone washing is an interesting idea, can't wait to see pics!

Can you show a better pic of the polished standoffs? Please and thank you!

I'll see if I can get a shot of them. They look like the screws at this point. I polished with flitz just enough to lighten them up and knock off the dullness.

This is the best pic I could get. I'm definitely not a photographer. When I got it the standoffs were a dull black. After a little flitz the are a shiny dark grayish color. I basically wanted them to shine a little like the scale screws. I could start to see the tooling marks so I left well enough alone. Sorry again for the crappy pic.
