Quoted: Cool, but IMO the bullet holes are pretty cheasy [:)] View Quote I like 'em, notice how none are touching the American flag? A bit of symbolism perhaps... |
|
Sweet, its now the first thing I see when I stare at this box. [:)>]

Quoted: Aren't those 7.62x39 rounds at the bottom? View Quote I think so too. Still, a cool pic....good job! |
|
Quoted: It even has a 40 round USA mag! [:O] View Quote Ahem, Mr Stoner sir, Sterling also made very effective 40 rounders. My two work extremely well in my rifles. But you knew that[IMG]http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/contrib/aahmed/biggrin.gif[/IMG] |

Ok....
The gun is angled at 45 degrees,it should be more like 37? There are not as many rounds as the mag and chamber will hold. No bayonet? Why are they even shooting toward the flag? The holes are 5.56, but the rounds are 7.62? The gun is post ban, not a pre-ban. I prefer a different Flashider. It needs Holosite, Acog, Aimpoint, or something else. Ok? Is there any criticism that I missed? ALL of you who are griping/suggesting, shut up! This is a GREAT picture, that took someone quite a bit of time and effort. They asked nothing from you, and have allowed you to use it/not use it at your own discression. I think DigitalExtreme did an AWESOME JOB! THANK YOU, DIGITALEXTREME!!! is the appropriate comment!

Who makes those grip sleeves? (or anyone else with the answer for that matter) [>(] Nuckles. [smash] |

Congrats, my new wallpaper as well. It even took place of the picture of my AR I had on my PC!

Quoted: Who makes those grip sleeves? Nuckles. [smash] View Quote Those be HO-GRIPS, bro!!! Hogue Grips: [url]http://www.getgrip.com/[/url] And, believe it or not, Hogue makes the SaniSoft Toilet Seat...NO $HIT!!! You can bet your A$$ I'm gonna get one of these, too: [url]http://www.hogueinc.com/[/url] Better view?: [url]http://www.sani-soft.com/[/url] Can you imagine a better place to read your Gun Magazines than sitting on a real Hogue Grip? [:D] |

Quoted: Aren't those 7.62x39 rounds at the bottom? View Quote This is really a picture of a post-ban HO-GRIP Bushmaster lower with a Colt 7.63x39 upper, and that's why we see the ammo we see, right? Uh, yeah... [;D] |
|
BTW. The grip looks like a Hogue "Handall Universal Grip Sleeve". Part Number 17000.
Just a guess [;)] |

It was obvious that it took considerable talent (that I don't have) to photograph, edit, enhance, tweak the picture. To top that off the creator, digitalxtreme' just did it to be nice to his fellow AR15.comers. By the third or so comment, people were already making 'suggestions.' It irks me to see someone do something NICE and immediately have it critiqued. They have a saying for that.... "Never look a gift horse in the mouth!" [stick] BTW, cnatra... I got here in January, you got here in July ... nanah nanah nan nan [beer] Actually, I am a pre-ban AR15.comer from the old site. You should have been here when they were griping about the new site... [argue] Man, it was NOT even fun to watch. |

Quoted: Heads up, Striker! There's one for the multimedia gallery. View Quote You called? got a spot on the wall by the patio door waiting for it.[:)] |

Digitalxtreme, looks pretty good to me. I also liked the one in the AK Forums. I have Photoshop 5.5 and don't know a thing about it. I have an excellent idea for desktop wallpaper (somewhat similar to yours). I posted it about a month ago looking for help creating it, to no avail. Please e-mail me, as you don't have one listed. Thanks!

Does anyone know how I can fit it to my laptop? I'm not getting all the picture in my limited size monitor. Thanks Mike [+]:D] |

Thanks Mike [+]:D] View Quote Can you go to your display control panel and select the stretch command to fit the wallpaper? If not tell me your screen resolution and I'll make you one to fit. |

Excellent job Digital, nice work with replacing the 7.62 rounds.

Digitalxtreme
Do you have that in a higher resolution anywhere? I have access to a few large format printers at a couple of my clients and might be able to get prints made. Shorty |

Shorty View Quote I originally created it at the resolution you see, however I am in the process of making it into a tshirt, somewhat different graphics so I will post soon for all to see. I have my own large format printer and could make prints, but I have to work on a higher res version first.[:D] |

Quoted: T-Shirt! View Quote Here is a link and pic to check out for anyone interseted in a tshirt. There is an AK47 shirts also available.

Quoted: Just ordered my shirt! I Love it! View Quote Me too! I do wish it were in black, but it will do for now. |
|
Beautiful work Digital!!
If/When will other color shirts be available? Danke |
|
I would have preferred black also! I've been looking for a nice shirt with an AR on it. This one is the best so far. Please post when other colors will be available.
Anyone know where you can buy other AR or Gun type shirts or bumper stickers? |

Quoted: Beautiful work Digital!! If/When will other color shirts be available? Danke View Quote The company that is printing the shirts is only doing white for now. So I ordered one anyways. If other colors become available it will appear when ordering. |
