Something needs to be done to make the upper receiver look more worn or something its the only part that kinda seems out of place.

Sandpaper->paint->driveway->sandpaper->paint->driveway a few times probably won't hurt anything

The post-apocalyptic patio table was a nice detail for the pictures.

The post-apocalyptic patio table was a nice detail for the pictures. on a serious note the lighting there allows me to get the highest resolution pics plus I can prop it up easy enough
This is how far I got today. Couldn't find my box of shelving crap so it may not get the OG keymod  but did make a muzzle cone and stripped the majority of the anodising off of the upper. Anything yall know of that I can use to get it about the same color as the lower? Don't want to leave it stripped and really like that grey with an almost green tint
The cone is a bit lopsided but its straight enough 
I think I'm gonna go pick up some copper tubing for the spacer between the FS and the muzzle cone since I have no shoulder. Currently it's some fuel line but it's a bit too loose plus because copper

I think it would look cool if you chopped the carry handle off and just left it as the rear sight
See my bad MS paint mock up

Probably if you use some 1" steel pipe, cut it in half, weld a charging handle channel on the top, cut out a little bit for the cam pin, drill a gas tube hole, and weld some takedown pin lugs on the bottom, you'd match the lower almost perfectly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm loving the overall look of it, but the spark plug is stupid and pointless IMO. Keep up the good work otherwise.

I LOVE IT!
Aluma black is what I used on my upper to get some color back in spots. Did the same to my lower and it turned it kinda brown... Oh, and I got that red dot sighted in. Holds a 2" group at 100 yards! |

Just a friend that makes custom rifles that had some laying around his machine shop.
I'm working from home today, think I'll go take a walk around the farm and try and get my build a kill under its belt. Groundhogs must die! |

Have you seen the gun you can build in fewer than 3 hours for less than $10??
Check this out: Mark Serbu's "GB22" pistol (shown at SHOT show): http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_49/476092_My-Knock-off-of-Serbu-s-GB22--Simple-Homemade-Gun-.html It could also be built in .380, 45ACP, etc. it's quite apocalyptic! |

I'd hit the upper with Rustoleum rusty metal primer. It would give that "industrial-chic" look. The world is run by equipment painted with rusty metal primer.

Cool build.
If that forward assist/spark plug could produce a spark that you could light a fat cigar off of now we have potential for a book/movie character. |

Following the 80% Glock thread, the challenges of the Iron Glock become abundantly clear. It might be easier to convert the SIG 320 to Glock mags and custom print a grip frame than weld a Glock together.

How does this look? Blitz black plus rustoleum rust
Rubbed on it to thin it and threw it in the gravel a few times
I'm thinking about chemical rusting it with one of the methods discussed a few pages back |

I'm holding out on the weight until I finish it
it's wayyyyyy lighter than my brother's scoped PTR-91 though and may even be lighter than my 12.5 when I stick my F1 can on it
