Savage rascal. Single shot and accu-trigger, yup. My son really likes it. Easy enough for him to run the bolt but, I can still flick the safety on and off easily too. Who did the barrel threading for you? I asked Delta Arsenal, barrel was too skinny to thread it to spec. I read of one place that will thread the barrel for an adapter that the suppressor then threads on, but would love to know where you had it done. |

I asked them about doing exactly what you said, thread it smaller then add an adapter. They told me, it had just enough meat on the barrel to just thread it regularly. I test fired it at their range with their can, to make sure it was concentric.....I had some issues with a barrel they did on my Rem 700, but that's another story. But, it works great. And stupid quiet! |

Do you mind emailing me your name and/or the time frame you brought it there? |

Changing up my plan. Picked up a toy AR and I'm going to try a few different paint jobs before I paint my pinned 14.5. Couldn't wait anymore for good weather outside so I'm doing it inside.

Didn't want to wait anymore, so I've started painting the toy Airsoft rifle I picked up. I am glad that I did as I was quite unhappy with my first few attempts. All paints used so far are standard rustoleum camo colors picked up at walmart. Sand, khaki, 2 greens and an earth brown. I am not going to waste time with pictures of the first 2 attempts.
I started getting MUCH better results when I started tying and tightening the netting on the rear side of the rifle before painting. There are 2 different fishnet products used, a thin and thick weave. ETA linked pictures corrupted. |

Complicated I know. I've been planning this since last fall so I have been on the look out for netting for a while. |

You can use a mesh laundry bag from walmart. About $2. Also Joann sells netting by the yard.

Going to try a Kryptek job on my pistol build !!! Are you going to buy a kit or homebrew? Wow nice job Mike, you actually kinda got a Kryptec look going from using the two different mesh/fishnets! When I did mine I used the laundry bag from walmart. But what I did was cut a square piece, maybe about 6"x6" big and put it where I was about to paint. Then moved into into the different areas as I was painting. And when I wanted a tight look it was very easy to get it to form to the area I was working with a little tape. I never even thought of using the whole bag at once. The smaller piece was very easy to manipulate to what I wanted/needed. Either way yours looks good. But I honestly think the black rifle is more camoflouged in the leaves for some reason.

i bet ctshooters does this too...and ccdl.
id never rattle can a gun unless i was headed for the hills. i rattle canned a few mags to match my FDE theme when i was on the stage of FDE... all black looks cleaner IMO. but if i could, i would buy another preban, and cerekote it white for them snowy coyote days  just for the cool factor though

Remember you can always use KleanStrip from Walmart to strip rattle paint, so it's not permanent. Use rubbing alcohol to prep. Then go nuts. The more light coats you do the tougher the pint job will be. |

I'll be doing some more interesting things soon at the shop, if you guys are interested, I'll post some pictures. |

For example, if you had a pre ban SR-25 that you spent like 4-5 grand on just for the gun, then another $600 in Cerakote work, are you gonna beat that rifle around? I'd be surprised if most here beat their rifles up as frankly the opportunity to shoot in situations where they get worn like that rarely occur for most people. |

Here are two guns that I spray painted:
Painted the upper flat black on the top gun. It had a FDE cerakote job on it that did not match the forearm rail. I liked the color of the rail, so left that and the rest of the gun alone. The lower gun is a PWA preban, that had a crappy paint job on it when I bought it, so I stripped and painted that one too. Not perfect by any means, but I like it better than the old paint. Just took this pic at the range, Friday afternoon.  " />

When your Krylon gets beat up, strip it and re coat, or just repaint it. With a Cerakote job, it's not that simple. |
