I propose you do a combination of zombie camo and ACU, using 3 colors that are prevalent in the natural flora of your local area.

I was thinking of doing a Tiger stripe ish with it black and the stripes done in the muticolor Zombie like the AMD

That was my second thought. Tiger Stripe would work well with zombie camo IMO.

I think you've played out the zombie camo :p


Use the same concept, find a different pattern. I like the idea of getting somehing ghey as an individual stencil, but using it in a camo pattern to make it "cool".

various auto logo's for example... or something like that.

I do too :laughing: now I pretty much only do it for others. there is only 1 gun that WILL have a variant of it and that will be one of the next AR's I build when I pick up a receiver for just that build.
It will be all black with black of a different texture skulls on it and the selector lever will start at "0" with dashes and end at "11" :laughing:

I am trying to figure something for this FAL.:(

Bacon pattern duracoat would bring the awesome in so many ways it would hurt.

Flat OD with digital style flat black. Semi gloss handguards, same pattern.


Or all satin black with all the bits that stick out in natural gray park. Safety lever, charge handle, mag release, front sight assembly etc...




BTW, anyone got the exact measurements for the bipod dimples in a FAL barrel?

I would leave it. Looks fine the way it is.



If you were to try a "zombie camo" with a different pattern, try spiders.

My goal is to have my AR done in that zombie camo with spiders. The soon-to-be-ex wouldn't let me have guns, and hated spiders... Oh quiet revenge... :D

same concept as the zombie camo - but the other options are endless really...

Along the same lines as the zombie camo:

I actually think both of these could be used for a pretty unique pattern:

http://www.victoriana.com/Stencils/curtain-stencils.htm (wouldn't allow me to link)

This could turn out unique as well (35% stencil art)

You'll think I am nuts, but IMHO a Paisley would be sweet on the receiver with all the black furniture:

Again, a glasslands style camo stencil could work:

And I think a teddy bear camo would ROCK :laughing:

Oh, and if you can pull it off - a fading in-and-out text of the 2nd amendment on the side of the receiver would be nice :)

Another option - subtle if done in grey/black or green/black - lace:

Yep. I have 4 Israeli barrels I want to have my machinist cut.




The teddy bear camo would be cool as fawk for my wifes Hi Power. However, I'd probably get strung up for it if it ever went to the range. :laughing::laughing:

In that case, she should have never been in a position to become an ex.


I vote for a skull & crossbones in place of the zombie faces.

It could be none blacker.

That is the most baddassingist idea.

I am missing something. Not unusual.



I've seen selectors read SAFE - Fire - ____ - SHTF

I've also seen it done with names of cities.

Rhodesian baby shit green, applied with a handful of
Johnson grass or something similar for effect. I can find
a true color match mix of it if you want.
