+1 marry her. I'm still happy my girlfriend shot up all of my 9mm the second time I took her to the range (and the second time she ever shot). She said she felt bad and didnt' know it was *all* my 9mm, but I was more then happy to let her.

Contact these guys and ask them if they can make one in purple for you, if they say yes, then arrange it with your local FFL.
The Cav arms rifles are nice, maybe not as nice as the newer Bushmaster Carbon-15 M4s, but still nice, very light and functional. I know Bushmaster doesn't do fancy colors with the newer Carbon-15 Model 4s... I asked them and they said no [could have changed since then, however]. But I know for a fact that I've seen Cav-15s in weird colors, so I would think they'd do that for you... How much it would cost is another issue. I'd suggest going with the 16" mid length over the 14.5" with the long flash supressor... Just a personal thing, she might like the 14.5" for all I know.... Ask her about it. If Cav Arms won't make one for you, you could always just buy a regular aluminum AR-15 [Bushmaster, Armalite, Rock River, etc] and krylon it purple or something... Not like enough people aroundhere haven't painted their rifles in all manner of weird colors  .

If you don't want the Carbon M4 by Bushy (and I'm more a fan of the Aluminum myself). I'd suggest a Bushy Superlightweight with a telestock - light and the stock length can be adjusted to fit her.
Cav Arms no longer makes/sells the purple stuff unless you want to put in a large order. IIRC they sold all their colored stock sets off to one of their dealers. You should be able to contact that dealer in the CavArms forum. Other options include krylon (cheap & easy but not very durable) or one of the better coating systems. IIRC Brasspile does this kind of work (see below):

Bushmaster makes two type of Carbon 15 rifles, one takes the ultra light weight stock and special uper light weight upper. The other takes the std. buttstock and plastic lower/upper with a std. M4 front end. Not as light weight but takes the std. CAR stock you want.
Paint as needed. |

i don't have a sugestion, but once you do find one that works... run, don't walk, to the gun store.
i have been married for about 8 years and have been trying to get my wife to go shooting with me. it's taken over 8 years and a lot of personal tragedy to get her to finally go to the range. count your lucky stars. |

Wouldn't that be considered a suggestion? But +1 to said suggestion... Run to the gun store once you find a rifle that fits her needs m35a2... Then run to the nearest Church... without the gun, but with a ring  .

+2 on the Bushy superlight. saveing that 3/4 -1lb or whatever the savings is doesn't seem like much but it shure makes for a handy feeling gun. If you go crazy with makeing it a uber light gun you might run into felt recoil issues. Go the extra mile to find out what type of stock is most comfortable (for the GF) and what type of sighting system (red dot,acog,high or low power scope ect)
How about some type of fitted case with areas provided for the gun,scope,red dot,detachable carry handle bipod ,Ceiner kit , and some mags. |

I like the suggestion someone made recommending the Bushmaster Superlight
and if you must..........have it painted But buy one that YOU would want. GF's come and go, and you are 50/50 likely to end up with this AR15 for yourself... |

Cavalry Arms makes a very light lower, however the one that is at my house is all one piece, and the stock was pretty long. It was a rather uncomfortably long length of pull.
My boyfriend was threatening to put pink or purple furniture on my AR that he was building for me. I told him I prefer the basic black. He bought me a Rock River lower for it with the collapsible stock and the two stage trigger. Very nice.

How long have you been dating? Reason I ask is you need to have been around her long enough to determine if she's crazy or not. I have had several that seemed normal at first, but a year down the road, and the skeletons started falling out of the closet - you don't want to arm the crazy ones!!
 I'd get her a Bushy ultra-light (I don't know why they haven't mated their ultra-light barrel with their CF upper and lower yet), and let her to the painting. I couldn't make it purple. |

L.T.M. Refinishing seem to be looking for business on this forum. From the looks of it, they can DuraCoat the ENTIRE gun for you. Not just the furniture.

Yes, and if she buys the weapon, its a great idea. If he is paying for this, he might as well grab a can of krylon, spray the furniture with a few coats, and call it good. He can then replace, or change the furniture color for the next one.....

Indeed. Especially if it's a shittastic A2 grip, plain jane telestock, and crappy handguards. I would have to kill him if he DuraCoated an LMT SOPMOD or CAR style furniture. Of course if the girls goes the AR stays. For the next girl! "Say baby check out this gun I made for ya" "Oh my gosh! It's pink and it's so pretty!" "Yeah baby that's right, wanna go shootin' sometime?" "With you anytime! You big ole hunk of sexy man"  GIT |

There was a former leo here (med-cop) who used a pink CavArms mkI as his entry weapon. He actually built it through donations from the site members here.

Hi guys,
Yes your all right she is definitely a keeper, I knew that two weeks after I took she shooting for her first time and she showed up at my house with a brand new SS S&W snub nose and said look what I picked up today, lets go shooting. I'm not too worried about recoil, she'll sit at the bench all day with my M1A, it's just at 5' 1" 98lbs my M4 clone starts getting heavy for her when were out walking the property looking for hedgehogs and such. As far as it being purple, hey that's what she wants so that's what she'll get and I'm sure if I sling my HK91 over my back smoke a cigar and crank Vagner on the stereo I should be able to keep the ghey away while building it. But thanks for the concern. And if down the road she ends up splitting with the AR, believe me gentlemen that's far less troubling of a thought than the cars, motorcycles and dogs past girlfriends have left with. Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it. M35a2 |

moosemcnally,
E-mailed a photo of your wife's rifle to the gf and I think that's the ticket, a superlite and a Lavender DuraCoat job. How long ago was it done and has there been any durable issues with it? Any thing else I should know before placing the order? Thanks! M35a2 |

Me and my girlfirend just had our 6th month annaversiry. I can still remember the first time she opened my closet door. <her> Damn....<her>, so i go walking over, "what"? <her>you into guns much?<her>, hell yea, their my life. For a few mins why she was lookin around, i didnt know how to take it, until she ask if i would take her shooting the next day. Shaaaawing, My x before her hated guns, so i take her shooting and now she wants a mossberg 590 SS for her self, but the problem is she isnt into ARs that much, but im trying. for the current all i have is an old ARMS CORP .22 M1600, she likes to shoot it but not as much as goin n shooting shotguns. But i think she'll convert to AR's when i get the bushmaster 16in with izzy FS.

The colors of the last Army unit I was with was gold and black. I had this idea of buying a Cav Arms buttstock and yellow furniture and putting it on my M16. Or get a yellow Lower and yellow furniture for my 11½ inch Upper and SBRing it. |
