I had this lying around, so I took a sharpie to it and made it look cooler, IMO.

haha post the link here if you find it, he used a dremel tool to cut grooves on his barrel, along some other questionable "improvements", it's priceless

Boredom, idle hands and a Sharpie.

Unlike an ACOG in a LaRue mount, not a good combo.

I think that beats NT's dragging his AR across the driveway for that "deployed" look.

Hell yeah by a long shot, at least the dragged-across-driveway look doesn't impact the safety condition of the rifle, the longitudinal cuts along the barrel on the other hand....

Two tone MIAD's are ghey.. Using a Sharpie to make your MIAD two tone is GHETTO and GHEY at the same time..

I don't see a problem with what you did, it's your grip who gives a shit.  You must have been real bored hehe.

But for the record I hate FDE/OD/ other colored furniture unless it is going along with painting the whole rifle.  Like have a tan grip and stock but then spray much the rest of it tan.

Wow, what the hell was I thinking... =P

Bored and slightly tipsy is a bad combo with permanent markers in close proximity.

I'm going to hit it with some Krylon and paint it black later on today. I no longer have any other tan furniture, so it actually works out fine.

I don't see what's wrong with it.  

Would it have been cooler if he'd sprayed it with Krylon?  It may not be the cleanest job, and it doesn't really appeal to me, but I fail to understand what's so terrible about it.  The Sharpie will probably rub off after a couple months day of use, anyways, and that will be that.

I guess it's not tacticool enough.

Yuck...

It looks like someone colored it with a sharpie........oh wait......you did.

hmmm... next i suggest getting out the soldering iron to improve the grip texture

It'll rub off, according to the harsh critics, it belongs to the home fluting job post here couple of weeks ago

It looks good.

Annnnnnnnnd that is retarded.

Get a hobby.

Before I clicked on this thread I figured you pieced two together, and I thought to myself, I should do that in the future.  Now I dunno wtf to think.

Was there beer involved in this escapade at least?

It's highly likely.

EDIT: Also likely there was at a small glass of rum involved.

Don't laugh Duffy, you know you've been tossing the idea of a home made light weight carbine around.  Just think, you could even flute the upper and lower using a dremel

Yes, I think about it all the time

I reduced the weight of my rifles by removing stored batteries from my SOPMOD stocks and MIAD grips, no Dremel needed for that

Ha, was just messing with you.  The only way I reduce the weight of my rifles is by emptying the magazine

Oh, you're gonna hate my newest AR.  It's going to have FDE furniture on black metal.  I'm not taking a can of Krylon to a new LMT unless I have a true need... or if the mood strikes.

I've already got one all-black AR, so want to try something new with the next but still be able to convert it back to an evil BLACK rifle without paint thinner.
