The Finish
Justin Sly of Mark V assembly, polishing a Mark V receiver to a high-gloss finish. High gloss Mark V's are the most challenging to assemble as the slightest scratch will mean re-polishing and re-bluing the part. Many hours are required for just the polishing alone.

This past August marks 46 years since I raised my right hand and was commissioned as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. In the summer of 1980, I entered active duty with a firm sense of civic duty and a deep desire to serve our great nation. Like so many who wear the uniform, I was ready to contribute directly to the defense of freedom.
