BS...You would have to prove it to me. I'm well versed with CS. In fact I can't think of a worse stripper/solvent to use on park. Once pigment gets into the park that's it, it's there. Oh you might reduce it to a haze if the paint was dark enough and cover it with oil but it's still there. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Painted the CS gel on and literally wiped it with a rag. No scrubbing, no hassle:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I've never painted an assembled gun before. Wouldn't painting it that way cause some problems with moving parts, and leave some areas unpainted? No. Plug the barrel, pull the BGC, pop in a magazine, close the ejection port cover and have at it. There shouldn't be enough thickness of paint to impede the forward assist, safety, mag release, bolt catch etc. and of by some chance you got a glob in one of those areas, just knock it free. As long as everything is buttoned up you wont get any measurable amount of paint inside. As for leaving some areas unpainted - extend your stock all of the way out and flip the safety lever half way through the main job and you're good to go. Obviously the charging handle channel and inside of the ejection port door would be black but who cares? ETA - I do like to pull off anything on the rails and paint them separately so the full rail gets coated - not leaving black areas if I ever move stuff. But that's just me. |

I've been thinking about doing one or two of mine.

What's a registered SBR built on a PSA receiver really worth, anyway? Probably not worth the price of the transfer fee to resell it, but it serves my purpose just fine. |

I have a M1A Scout that is rattle canned. It will never be sold. It is rattle canned so it is camouflaged; no more, no less. A great way to stick out in the woods of subtropical in Florida is with a black gun in the green brush.

LOL...I shoot vintage weapons a hundred years older than I am but I don't have the slightest urge to paint them. They still hold their value too.
Truth be told I bet the comments would be a hell of a lot different were it a Colt AR-15 of some flavor that was rattle-canned. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Congrats, your rifle is now worth 1/3rd less than what it was. Who cares? Just pointing out that if some day the wolf is at the door and you have to sell your "modern art masterpiece" at a huge loss you will wish you never saw $15.00 worth of rattle-can.
Truth be told could not the same thing be accomplished buy just a few wraps of camo "vet tape" or burlap strips? If you're that worried about value, you shouldn't even shoot the fucking thing.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I have a M1A Socom Scout that is rattle canned. It will never be sold. It is rattle canned so it is camouflaged; no more, no less. A great way to stick out in the woods of subtropical in Florida is with a black gun in the green brush. Meh, FL hogs did not seem to mind a black/stainless ML (Knight) when I hunted them down there. Virginia deer don't either.
Turkeys are noted for extremely good vision and factory camo shotguns are the now the big thing. Odd but the most successful turkey hunter I ever knew (sadly now passed) used a old Winchester Model 1897 with almost no finish left on it. I suspect his success was due to his skill-set being levels above his peers, not the color of his shotgun. He did not wear camo clothing either. |

They're rattle canning dime a dozen mass produced ARs or AR build made of mass produced parts. I've never seen anyone on this forum rattle can a vintage civil war Henry repeating rifle or a San Juan hill Gatling gun. Lighten up Francis.

And chances are, he'd be just as good with a rattlecanned shotgun its not like it somehow makes it impossible to shoot |

Getting' ideas to paint the bitch. But I can't get over the loss in value. Is there a way to deduct that from our taxes?

LOL....I sure see a lot of those rattle-canned "tools" in the consignment section for the price of a un-dinked with example. Must be that custom rattle-can premium.
Of course they sit there forever. Quote HistoryQuoted:

THEY ARE GUNS ! shoot the fuck out of them, scratch them when in the field, scratch them in the over stuffed safe....who gives a damn about resale??

Of course they sit there forever. Why would any buy a used AR these days. We can build them for $550

Of course they sit there forever. I would think you would support people painting. You're the king of obtaining deals, more guns to get at 50% off unpainted value. |
