Following David at RifleGear's idea, here's my wife's Valentine's day present for tomorrow. It's built on a DPMS lower with an M&A Parts kit and truly amazing DuraCoat work by Jim at Jim's Gun Supply

i'm starting to think these pictures of pink guns put off a scent of some sort. every time i look at one my girl comes scratching around like she's looking for something... i keep clicking off the page before she sees them (and wants one)... i'm thinking she's starting to think i'm looking at porn sites and she is almost catching me...lol.

The cat, of course! Sent that way for shipping purposes and the DuraCoat is still not fully cured, so I didn't want to take it off yet. Good catch!
|
|
Sorry to all the die-hards! Here's the rear sight installed properly. It was reversed earlier for shipping purposes...

I think I just threw up in my mouth..
To each his own.. Too bad about the rear sight. |
|
Looks good.
Should have done the port door and delta ring in white too! I like the contrasts. |
|
First thing I noticed . Hell of a nice valentines present, if she doesen't like it I'll be your valentine. |
|
|
HA....I may be new here but that is about the funniest thing I have read on ANY forum. |
|
|
Gee, what's next, a pink laser with a flower shaped dot (for range finding purposes)? Or a M203 grenade launcher with a Barbie pink parachute flare?

I really like it.
I like the idea of de-macho ing something so inherently macho and breaking pre-concieved notions of what things should be all about. I used to have a teletubbies sticker on my thrashed out rockcrawler 4x4 truck, and this is kind of the same thing to me. Very cool. |

"He looks like a pink nightmare" - Christmas story.
I think I want to throw up. The things we do for our women. Hey if it gets her out there with you great, I am sure she will be the one getting all the attention though. |
|
Casher: In all sincerity, that's a real nice rifle and a very thoughtful present. Makes me feel like a tightwad for just getting my wife a card and a few flowers. Take care. Mike

Nice job!
My little girl want's a pink rifle, I'll have to show her pics of your wife's. ETA: Where did you get the KalishnaKitty decal? |
|
I'm not sure I want to see his wife's after I saw hisheight=8
|

|
|
+1 on decal, My daughter wants me to make her black rifle pink also after I showed her pictures of the last one that was posted here. My wife on the other hand told me not to even think about it on hers. |
|
|
I used to live in Wyoming and I can tell you if anyone saw me with that thing I would have ended up sucking sage brush. But...... since it's for the wife it's pretty neat.
|
|
Somehow "Evil Pink Rifle" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Evil Black Rifle." Lately I've seen my wife looking at some of my gun magazines. I hope Soldier of Fortune never prints a picture of a pink gun or I may end up doing one.

ROFLMAO |

I'm not sure who'd be dumber.... The guy that goes to the range with a PINK AR.... OR.... The DUMBSHIT who gives a guy with a PINK AR Shit.....THINK ABOUT IT..... 30 Rounds of 55g 5.56 goodness.... Bet it still shoots great.... |
|
|
+1 I showed my wife these pics and the others and now she wants that logo as her cell phone wallpaper. Help a brother out with a JPG |
|
|
ok, we have the pink AR for the little girls, with the Hello Kitty theme, now we need a brown Chococat or black Badtz-Maru theme for the little boys. hehehhehe (Only reason I know about Hello Kitty-Hell is because of the daughter and those damn Hello Kitty stores at the mall (Called Sanrio-Hello Kitty, or something like that) Ack
|
|
If you have a pink rifle a backwards rear sight is the least of your problems.
Seriously hope she enjoys it.Beats the hell out of flowers and a hallmark card. |
|
QFT. Hey just for the sake of our friendship here, maybe the OP can post the orig pic of the sight on backwards? |
|
|
It just had the sight flipped around and about half way forward towards the muzzle. Jim did that to protect it a little in shipping since it was shipped broken down.
|
|
LOL. Last mont's SWAT had a article, written from a female's point of view, about attending a carbine class. She has a nice pink Cav Arms 'Scout'. Who knows, maybe SOF will have a similar article. |
|
|
All BS aside..thats a nice rifle and a thoughtful gift. I hope she enjoyes and appreciates it.
Lets us know how it goes. |
|
With their soul in eternal torment 'cause it was a 'girly gun' that sent them to their demise. |
|
|
I think it is an awesome gift! She will absolutely love it!
My hubby bought me a pink AR for my birthday last year! I've really enjoyed it and get so many compliments on the pink! Even the manly men think its pretty dogone neat! http://www.colleenebarnett.com/images/web Firearms or accessories are always good gifts! Today my hubby gave me an awesome Galco paddle holster for Granny Smith--my revolver. Awesome! h.gif |
|
True dat! |

|
|
LOL, My 5 yearold daughter saw it, says she wants a "hellow kitty" gun. Nice work I'll probably have to fix one up in 10 years.
|
|
If you wait that long you may miss your chance to grab her interest in shooting. Better get started now. You can always start with a .22 upper. |
|
|
+1. Smartest post yet. By the time she's ten or fifteen maybe she'll get over the pink and tone it down to maybe a Mauve, hah, Then by the time she's grown into an ADULT she won't be bothered by what a man uses and take a Black rifle . But if that is what it takes to get the girls out on the firing line, go for it. I'm just proud to hear that they are getting out there. I hope they can help when the time comes to use these weapons. Great gift Casher!!!!! Carry on. |

Score! A perfect St. Valentines Day surprise! Thanks |

|
you guys maybe on to something....what if someone all are EBR became Evil Pink Rifles....do you still think the liberals would try to ban them? Someone propose these to San Francisco, bet they will let these bad boys in lol
|
|
That is such an adorable rifle! I want to get a pink AR. How hard is it to paint yourself? No one has done it on a 20" yet; I think the 16" looks a bit awkward with the A2 stock. I really don't know what I want. I saw the fake Hello Kitty AK; I wonder if anyone will do a real one for the AK that looks as good as this.
|
|
|
I hope a woman wrote this. An "adorable" rifle?! |
|
|
+1 I know you gotta do stuff to make the 'ol lady happy and all. But......... I'm sure women out there would like it but.............eeeewwwww. Although it is very good workmanship on the paint job. I hope she likes it. Take it easy-n-at, Jeff |
