[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2649903, member: 13284"] #1. Type 1 rack: Earliest variant of the M4 rack with wooden base slats and hinged gate with individually welded magazine well fingers. Rack has been media blasted, primed, and painted with the correct RAPCO-33070 paint (early WWII lusterless olive drab). The wooden base slats and the barrel rest are hand cut replacements made of pine that have also been painted to match. Antique style solid brass domed-head slotted screws were used to secure both the slats and barrel rest. I also installed a vintage USGI Waterbury manufactured brass military lock with matching key. Unfortunately there are areas of pitting in the metal due to previously existing rust. Luckily nearly all of it is located on the bottom side of the base and is not visible. The discolored areas on the base of the rack in the photo below are areas of dirt and dust and not areas of scuffed paint...the bases of the racks got a little dirty when bringing them outside and I didn't notice until after taking photos.
