Good wood don't come cheap
Wait until you get the stock and fire end made. Don't forget to factor in the checkering. That will cost you as much if not more than the wood.
You are in for an enjoyable but expensive ride.
Is it worth it only you know .
The custom guns I have had built have been worth every cent I spent.

I love that combo as well. I am considering it but not sure how well stainless blues. I also really like that target grey stainless finish that Ruger put out a few years back and thought that something like that or bead blasted would look very nice. The downside to bead blasted finish is how much it can show scratches, etc.

@ET1775
With beemad blasting if you get a scratch you can always re blast it .
Stainless can't be blued but can be ceracoated.
It will be nice when finished.

Ahh, stainless can be blued, just not by the usual method, there is a hardwearing chemical process that can make the steel look very close to normal bluing. There was a chap in Adelaide doing it, don’t know if he still does

Are there any downsides to ceracote? Some look pretty close to bluing (in online photos).

It would be good to see that walnut as a finished stock.
