AR-15 and M-16 Show And Tell

[Pughead]

Just don't like how it looks I guess. :/

Got or know someone with a media blaster?

Looks great to me, just paint over it until you do like it. You don't have to remove what's already there.
Just tweak it till you like it.

Painted it today and I hate it.

 

[teddy12b]

Its not a bad paint job.

i think it looks good. Just go out and run it hard. Scratches and chipped paint make ARs sexy!

No blasting...brake cleaner and a toothbrush.

That depends on what he sprayed it with.

I'm itching to get an AR but I know nothing about long guns.

An AR is one of the easiest platforms to get into. It is designed to be relatively simple to operate and maintain under pretty much all conditions. There is probably not a better combination of light weight, accuracy, and customizability in any other platform.

Absolutely

That depends on what he sprayed it with.

He said "painted it today", so my guess is paint.

Thats how I was (and still am basically).

I bought an AR lower... and, woops. I built an AR in a month. 60 rounds down the pipe and she shoots great. Too bad only 223 I've gotten my hands on is this $33 a box stuff at Wal-Mart for 20rds.... LGS is not open when I'm able to get up there unfortunately. Time to buy in bulk online and save now.

Start building one and you'll want another as soon as you complete your first, haha.

That man speaks the trufe. Built my AR in a month and a half and am in the process of building an AR pistol that will become an SBR.

I think next on my rifle list is a AK... Once again... know nothing about them. But hell, if I start ordering parts I believe I'll learn something or another as I piece it together.

It was just krylon. That's actually the second coat. I didn't like the first either. LOL. I decided ill just run it for now and when it starts to flake off ill just redo it

Good plan.

MK12 Mod1 SPR awaiting B5 Sopmod "advanced" stock and white oak 18" SPR barrel, then it'll be ready for the paint booth where a buddy of mine and I will desert brush camo both of our AR variants. DoubeStar Lower, BCM upper.
WW AK74 awaiting Russian PK-01V side mount red dot and that'll be done.

 

[familyevents]

krylon flat or semi flat?

 

[SpaldingPM]

krylon flat or semi flat?

Think i'll do 2 light coats of primer, 3 light base coats of krylon camo sand, with a krylon camo brown for the pattern. Blending with a light 14-16" spray of the brown, followed by a 12" pass over of sand. Krylon camo flat.

And yes! Def getting a suppressor! I have to set up my trust first.

Definitely want to see that after you get the PK01v mounted, they look so good. I picked one up from Atlantic earlier this year and I love it. The build quality is crazy, you could put a wooden handle on one and use it to smash bricks.

Haha! That's what I've heard. I forget who it was, (might have been you), who posted a pic of their pk01v AK in the AK pic thread, it made my decision come very easy on ditching the Kobra idea and going after a PK style. The best thing about the PK01V that I sold me was the fact that, with the mount provided, it is a full co-witness, and I'm a stickler when it comes to that lol!

Speaking of smashing bricks... the reason I have a cheap-o blackhawk stock on my AR is because I tried to smash a watermelon with the factory DSA 6 pos stock, being funny, well it went through very easy and cracked on a tree stump haha!

B5 sopmod will be purchased next week at USDA! Yay

A couple of my Noveske rifles.....
