Love it.

I like it!
Re: G. Loomis Rebuild
Awesome build, if you don't mind me asking, what would it cost to have something like this done? I have several g loomis rods, casting, would be pretty cool to do it to one. Thanks!

Re: G. Loomis Rebuild
I'm also a fan of the buffed raw graphite look. The short smooth transition with the foregrip is nice also.
