I figured it out....Attachment Attached File


Dedicated my very first 80% build to my wife's "anything purple is wonderful" philosophy. It was a surprise gift and she loves it to say the least. I think she's gonna become an AR enthusiast and end up being my shooting partner before all is said and done!

Thanks to Daytona Tactical for the purple AR kit and 5DT for the superb 80% jig that made the milling steps a breeze.

My mother has no say in my hobbies. In my case my wife knew that I had a serous thing for the shooting hobbies before we were married. She's never said a word.

Huh, looks like a pretty reasonable rifle that just so happens to be partially pink. I hope she likes it!

Is it the lighting / camera or is it more pink than purple?  I only ask because I "need" purple.

I tried that one, she did not care and does not care if I build guns

That was before the lower was done, but the upper and lower are the same color now.

It's actually more of a light purple not a royal purple. Not pink. Bad lighting is the primary culprit.

Desptie growing up around guns, my wife has never been much of a shooter but I've gotten her pretty interested in shooting my .22 now. Probably going to buy her a Mossberg 715 (I know...) or a Smith M&P 15-22 if we can come up with a few more dollars pretty soon.

Girlfriend doesn't love pink but I think i've got her hooked into shooting after she watched my build come together. Gotta build her something soon

Maybe something like this (not mine) is more her style:

My wife went the other direction. First I got her a pink Sig mosquito and a lw pink AR... Now all she wants is bad ass guns. Got her an mp5 for her bday, she couldn't have been happier. Wives that shoot rock.

I tried, she figured it out and shot me down as I was fishing for colors.  AR's are too ugly.

Already had the upper and lower recievers, so I got "stuck" with them.  Of course now I am catching flak for building another rifle...

Nice.  Made me chuckle.  

Lesson 101.  Marry the right woman.
