pick me a gun finish

[usmcdoc14]

Pick me one of these DIY finishes.Poll allows multiple choices.

My FAL is going to be tore down and I am going to put the new barrel on (after its cut to 16.25 inches :evil: ) and re-finish it.
But i am not going with anything boring and black :flipoff2:

Desert:
http://www.lauerweaponry.com/images/CPR16.jpg
suits me, looks cool, will still camo itself in other environments other than the desert

Winter Twig:
http://www.lauerweaponry.com/images/CPR8.jpg
cool as hell design, makes a "different" weapon, doesn't really serve any camo abilities 10 months out of the year :laughing:

Urban:
http://www.lauerweaponry.com/images/CPR15.jpg
Just looks evil

Wilderness:
http://www.lauerweaponry.com/images/CPR14.jpg
decent looks

Pink:

cause nothing instills fear in a man more than another man with a pink rifle :evil: :laughing:

Urban Mirage would be my first choice. Pink would be my first choice FOR YOU. :flipoff2:

After I picked Winter Twig, I had to laugh at myself for helping you "pick out colors". It seems kinda gay to do so, but I guess the testosterone of the whole FAL thing overrules any homoghey.:laughing:

[bigun]

I guess I would go with desert camoflage

you sure Winter Twig wont make me look fat? It does have vertical stripes and that is slimming so it might help.

I only picked colors that complement my olive skin tone :flipoff2:

[braxton357]

Haha...as we speak the marpat camo job on my 10/22 is drying in the basement. I just used the krylon camo pack...od green flat brown and dark khaki. Plus matte clear. It was a lot cheaper than lauer's...plus I really dislike their woodland colors/pattern. The desert mirage and pink lady on the other hand are both awesome.

[braxton357]

Another option is to tiger stripe it. Did this on a paintball gun long long ago and it came out fawking awesome, just time consuming.

In order of coolness, I like the winter twig, the wilderness, and then the desert.

I don't like the urban.

One day, I will have an AR with all pink furniture for my "loaner" rifle.

what did you use for the masking? as in "marpat" you mean the new digital?
I can get the same colors in textured rustolium that i can do on my next AK build :D

oh, they have the cheat kit for tiger stripes :p

I think am going to do my SKS in that :D with a 20 round chinese box mag it would fully rock.

But that will be done in krylon :laughing:

[Frankenyota]

Do it in multicam, awesome pattern! Or use the woodland MARPAT. http://www.multicampattern.com/IMAGES.htm

[gipper]

I'm so making a pink shotgun for my wife.


:grinpimp:


thanks.

[basketcasejeep]

I voted for the urban, and would have said pink, but you strike me more as a periwinkle kinda guy. :flipoff2:

Go here, and click on the "Duracoat Camo Finish" Box.
http://www.dsarms.com/catalog-list.cfm?Category=01&Subcat=SA58%20Original%20Series&storeid=1

The underbrush looks pretty good too...

You really should try the zolatone finish, that way when I get around to doing mine, I'll know if its worth it or not. :D

[gipper]

I hate urban. besides, that's not really an urban gun.


I think more winter warfare with that gun. A digital winter deal would rock.


dessert is getting too common.


outside the twig, I'd have to go to wilderness.

Yeah, kinda like this. I just found some digi camo outlines (that they were trying to sell on ebay) blew them up, traced them onto sticky paper and cut them out. :D

I voted for Urban but if it were mine I would just powdercoat it.

[braxton357]

Besides, does it really matter? You have like 9 ak's. Do all different ones. :flipoff2:

[Frankenyota]

dude it looks like a fawking Van Gogh painting :laughing:


Yeah, you're right it kinda does! :laughing: :flipoff2:

nope, this is for the FAL.
no Krylon
no half assing
one time deal

:D

[Roxywheels]

Nothing says *prepare to die* like pink :D :roxy:

[4runner]

if you don't have one to paint...buy one of mine:

[braxton357]

Well I love the marpat, but that "vietnam tiger stripe" is pretty fawking badass. That's what I'd go with. Talk about making an EBR even more liberal-scaring. :D

[usmcdoc14]

if you don't have one to paint...buy one of mine:

got an extra FAL or G3 I can put on lay-a-way over the holidays ? :laughing:

The local gunshop had a bunch of bare AR receivers.....i am staying away till I am caught up on "projects":D

[4runner]

got a cetme for $450 and an L1A1 for $550...

[Mo]

L1A1 for $550...
details and pics please

[aloharover]

Dude, where's the bacon?

Think about it some redish browns and glossy greys. :flipoff2:

But seriously the MARPAT idea would be the primo. Specially if you can get the pattern the same size as on the actual uniforms.

I have seen both the woodland and desert in the "field" and it really is amazing how well the pattern works.

That reminds me...I think I'll go cut out some tiny eagle globe and anchors to place randomely throughout too.

:D

4 times in a row :laughing: you dont want to seem eager :D and dont EEEEEVEN blame it on the board

[4runner]

okay, took some pix..
this came from Century about three months ago, but I changed the locking shoulder, bolt and carrier. I like the Israeli sandcut bolt carrier and the bolt that came in this one had a weak extractor...I had to change the locking shoulder after trading the bolt/carrier. the headspace on this gun is spot on for factory specs and this gun will put all 20 iside 1.5"@100yds using the flip-up sights you see on the gun...I traded for this gun last Sat at a local gun show, then brought it home to check out. Sun AM I went to the range after swapping some parts to make it work right. It will digest ANY 308 ammo you want to feed it...
some guns come from century and work fine, I like to make sure they are fine...I built myself a para a few months ago...


I bought the CETME for the HK Sliding Butt that was on it...now my personal rifle has it...I did go shoot this one, not bad, cycles well and I did hit that clay pidgeon @100yds...
The AR is from Rock River and is a flat top with a 20" HB...I slapped a scope on it to try it out, shoots nice, but I have a little shorty I keep for myself...
I will be in Mesquite this Sat and FW the 18th...

[braxton357]

Gd that is one fine looking rifle. Get it Mo...get it.

[4XFORD]

This is pure evil. I think you are the kind of people that would go into Gods forest and kill his creatures, aren't you?

Me too, I like it.

Have you thought about South African camo like the R1s had? I think it's kinda cool and authentic.

A bud of mine who was station in the Canal Zone way back told me he seen a recruiting poster for the Rhodisian Army. It showed a native lying along side the road with half his head gone. The caption read " A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste" or something like that. It was a play on a tv ad here popular at the time.

Remember.....Guns cause crime like spoons made rosie odonnell fat.

Awsome idea. and please please please post photos when its done.

I can't believe you would take something that you could make look as beautiful as this and paint it any of those hideous camouflage patterns. :(:(:(

Possible dibs on the L1A1 after Mo, and I'm closer! :D

Gil is attempting to talk me into letting him build me a purple AK

[basketcasejeep]

I did say periwinkle was more his color. :D

gimme 48 hours for an answer

I'll give you 12 hours, half a twinkie and a DOG! :flipoff2:

[DavidVanVorous]

Then a conventional browning should be very complimentary...:D
Sorry couldnt help the remark...:D :D

Im kinda partial to the more conventional methods and good browing is easy to do without all the masking...

D.

[Dieselmh]

is the dog desert camo or tiger stripe?

Your choice, I've got a few cans of Krylon in the barn. :D

[Bobzooki]

c'mon, Gil! Don't you want:

[Paul Gagnon]

Mine aint wood :D

I know but you could convert it. ;)
