Heya, what's the doodad on your buffer tube, and is it pistol-legal under BATFEIEIO rules? Are you asking about at the rear of the buffer tube? That's the bottom "spacer" that comes standard with the CCA saddle. The buffer tube is a Phase 5 Tactical "standard" buffer tube and overall length of the rig is 23.5". Hope that answers your questions. I was actually talking about the CCA saddle itself. I'd never seen one before! That was enough info for me to use my google and figure it out - thanks! Roger. Glad to help. |

Started with khaki for the base, then deep forest green, dark earth brown and sand. Some switch up of layers. I think forest green would have matched better to multicam but for my locale deep forest was a better fit. Creosote. This was my first try at painting a rifle, I'm happy it's well received. |

Great write up! Thank you.

Just finished with mine a few minutes ago - it's hanging up drying.
Not sure if I totally like it, but it does look like I went rolling around a mudhole with it, so I guess there's that. First time with a rattlecan, on a rifle or anything, so it's been a learning experience. Will post pictures in a bit when the sun's up and you can really see it well. |
