Thats how an AR should look. Used and abused. Very nice!

Anyone ever seen one of these? It's a HBAR Match Vietnam Commemorative. Any ideas as to what it would be worth?

Worth whatever a standard HBAR match goes for. When you make a "commemorative edition" it seldom if ever adds value. Declaring something to be the collectible edition almost ensures it will never be a collectible.

Yeah I like this! Did you lay the dark down first then your lighter paint? I like it

What light/mount/switch combo is that? @TriggerTime

Sure fire light and switch in a haley Thorntail mount

Light base coat, then dark details, then light details, with a dusting of both the light and dark colors at the end. It's pretty easy. I keep it simple.

Ah nice! I was wondering because some places were different. Looks great!

I think you're the one who "guided" me to do that same thing. I just did my xt-22 and it turned out pretty darn good. I like how you did your AR much better though. The dark really looks great. Rustolium or Krylon? Which two colors? I'm guessing khaki and earth brown?

DUDEEEEEEEE! Ughhh.. I seriously need to change my pants. This is literally looks very close to what I'm gonna do! Comp m2? Which scope and QD mount you running?

 

[SmileDocHill]

I want to pain my AR and be one of the cool kids too. Seriously though, that looks awesome and I do want to do that.

I think we should organize an AR painting party.

I really like the price and have read some preliminary reviews which seem positive. I'll be looking for a new sight this summer and this one is at the top of the list.

Thanks bro! Scope is an older Weaver Tactical, the mount is a LaRue.

Haha! Thats what I thought. Thats the exact midrange optic setup I have.
Seeing pic after pic of this AR makes me very excited for when I paint mine.

Looks better in person, I'll blame my cell for the pic quality. Was a lot easier to paint than I expected.
