Pimped my 0560

So, I picked up a ZT 0560 a little while ago and was bitten by the pimp bug.

I gave the titanium scale an Oxiclean bath as I prefer darker titanium. Then I worked on the G10 scale to make it flush with the steel liner, and I also smoothed that section out.

"Thumb-stud" works like a charm now. :)

Looks good! I have thought about doing the Oxi-Clean thing to mine.

Next, time for a new scale!
 
I think the Ti sort of darkens up on its own after awhile. I'm not sure why the G10 overhangs the finger choil but I modified mine too.
 
The different scales I have bought (thanks, Rival1314!) all have the cutout instead of the style like the original G10.
 
I would like to try the Oxi-Clean and then Scotchbrite the highs for a little contrast.
