I have a build that will consist of an MDT ESS Chassis with an FDE colored base and black colored forend. I'm going to be putting a stainless steel barreled action into it, but I'm debating on whether or not to cerakote the barreled action black (it's an extra $250 from the smith I'm working with).

Can anyone post pictures of something similar to the above (FDE base/receiver, black forend, SS barreled action; doesn't necessarily have to be an MDT ESS)? Just want something for reference. I've only found one good picture on the internet so far that matches this, but it's at a sharp angle. Looking for something from the side.

I am a fan of a black receiver, keeping the bolt stainless except for the bolt and end, which I also cerakote black. This creates a black/stainless/black/stainless motif, which is really cool.

I have two rifles done this way and love them.

EDIT: One is showcased in this video going through the rebarreling process of my 300 PRC.
